Why is that?

Ah

Check out https://kbin.melroy.org as well, it’s a forked version of kbin

No Mbin?

No need to prove it, that’s not my point

Not sure what you mean exactly

Not just deleted, but yes, or a way to check

One thing I miss in activitypub is a verification system. This is most important for deletion. For example, when something is deleted on one instance, there’s no way of knowing for sure if it will be deleted from other instances as well. An instance being down or malfunctioning can cause deletion to fail with no way to know* and try again for op.

*To know one would have to check every single subscribing instance. Trying to delete an already deleted item is obviously impossible

and when I say NOTHING I mean without financing the project.

This is not quite true, the project was being partially financed by external parties

But you are right. And we all know this. Kbin/mbin still is a fantastic project. We all respect Ernest for creating it. The software was immature as you said, a lot of people jumped in and offered their help, including actually making the features they were, as you call it, demanding. He was no longer alone. When things went south, everybody sympathized and several people offered him help and advice in many ways, which he has explicitly refused.

But that was all then, circumstances were far from optimal, indeed. Things are back to normal now, have in fact been for quite a while. This would have been the chance to get things sorted, especially delegating access to the back end of kbin.social, but sadly, nothing has changed

I was reminded of the situation by a notification of this comment on my post. I realized it was a week ago and out of curiosity checked Ernest’s dev blog and the codeberg repo to see if any progress had been made. That is not tracking, that is not stalking, that is not harassment.

You said before you were not involved. Well, now you are. This thread has now been escalated from defamation to false accusations against me, by you.

For real, stop trying to silence me, @melroy and others by pretending I’m committing crimes, and by trying to install fear of further escalation.

Stop trying to blame me for this situation.

It seems you are suggesting I am defaming somebody here. That would be ironical, I fully agree and I’d join you laughing, at myself. If I am misinterpreting you let me know. However, please do prove somehow that I am defaming somebody, anybody. I would seriously be delighted to be proven wrong in this matter.

Calling me childish and desperate for attention. Way less striking than calling an entire group of people insane, but still unnecessarily degrading. Resorting to such language comes across as being desperate to winning a conversation.

About constructive conversation. Calling people insane is not the way to enter one. Talking about irony.

I am very interested to hearing how and where I defamed anybody.

I am fully aware, you don’t have to inform me about the situation. Reading the devlogs alone is nowhere near enough to get a grasp of the full situation.

Please link to your previous statement so I can read it. I hope you did leave your original one as well.

You are calling people insane, defaming them without due diligence, think about that before continuing

I assume nlnet are capable of looking after their own business, it’s none of mine anyway. And from what Ernest has written in the past I suspect that he’s lost the grant.

He has made several promises, several times but never stuck to his words. He’s repeating his actions again, although it’s not as apparent this time as before, because there’s less people involved.

Admins is not enough, there have to be people he trusts, with full access to the server, to make sure the community can be preserved

Paid for, in part, by the nlnet foundation. So not just his own money, now that you mention it. But that’s not what bothers me neither am I trying to take his computer away. What I have asked him to do, several times, and I am not the only one, is to make sure that should something go bad in his life again other people can take over for him (temporarily)

I have offered him my help, several times, when he finally responded he explained he’s bad at excepting help. That’s fine, but that’s one of the things which, as I’ve said in this thread before, makes him unsuitable for running kbin.social by himself

I am not upset, if anything I am a bit worried about losing loads of kbin users should kbin.social fail

Touché

Well mission accomplished then, right ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s not one week of inactivity, this has been going on for months. If you want to start accusing me of things please read into the entire situation first, starting in October, on the kbin dev matrix

That says more about you than about me, really
