  • @melroy Dude, you need to reign in your street team. This post and all the others like it are harassment done on behalf of you and your project. And you are here posting in support, condoning it.

    Tracking a person’s online activity is fucked up stalker behavior. It doesn’t matter what role they play in what project. It is harassment and obviously intended to menace. No matter what OP says, everyone can see this is the case. Look at the comments on the page. Do you see comments like this about any other open source project?

    It’s really likely this will escalate. Nothing good is going to come of this. Kbin won’t be developed any faster. Mbin’s reputation will deteriorate, attract fewer users/contributors than it otherwise might have and specifically repel friendly helpful people who don’t appreciate this kind of thing. Your instances may be de-federated for failing to stop harassment. OP will sink further and further into whatever miserable spiral they are in. You personally will be associated with all of it because as a community leader you come here to encourage OP in this unhinged behavior. Find a way to redirect this energy into something that is useful for your project, or disassociate from it.




  • Imagining for a second that I had the technical ability to do so. The thought of running a lemmy server and letting random people make accounts sounds scary to me. Especially a “general purpose” one. I would feel responsible for the crappy stuff posted by users. How do people cope with that.

    Also would not be able to conduct the “investigations” required to determine if an instance was csam etc. Because that means you have to go and check it out! we can’t have a system where every admin is basically required to view CSAM. that’s crazy.




  • Well I’m not involved so don’t let me put you off it. :)

    In broad principal I think a lively kbin fork is desirable.

    It is very strange that the people associated with it spend their time doing posts like this one. No matter what you think of someone development style, tracking their behavior like this is fucking weird. Bordering on harassment. And in service of promoting their platform.

    Why not announce features and bug fixes like a normal project?

    But honestly I am hoping that if some more calm people get mixed up this will cool down.
