Idk anything about this person in specific but my guess is that @ferralcat is referring to “legacy students”. If you search for that term alone or in combination with “Standford” you can read all about what those words mean. The words have very well-understood meanings. For example:
Nearly 18% of Class of 2023 are legacy students or relatives of donors, report reveals

working hard and nepotism aren’t mutually exclusive
actually what you said was
any opinion
it’s not a crime. but you know lemmy isn’t a court of law right? you sound like an asshole.
whether it deserves a ban I guess that depends on the context.
sorry but that’s like the dumbest thing anyone ever said. have you heard of intagram facebook tiktok linkedin grindr tindr and every other APP
it’s like going to a party and then just hanging out in the kitchen. or spending the whole night out on the porch smokin cigs.
madness
well on its way to become the defacto centralized Git hoster.
If this isn’t Github already, what is?
Maybe this is why the data set was chosen. But does anyone else notice the huge jump between the last and second-last items?

Once you get past the george takei / neil gaimen top 5-10 zone it is a pretty smooth descent til this very sharp drop.
PS @BentiGorlich this post is tagged as being german language on kbin.
they’re famous to @outer_spec
It’s a bit weird to only be on discord don’t you think?
do they just post their code in a chat or something?
@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.
who is the judge of the server side code? what about the terrible green on white default lemmy color scheme? who is the judge of https? who is the judge of the physical infrastructure of the internet? who is the judge of wifi6?
omg it goes so deep judges everywhere judging me!!!

good thing nobody suggested that… And if they did it would be completely unenforceable.
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.
I believe they are moving. Paid for in some part by .tv
There are some tools that can help with this but I don’t think completely automatically. I don’t use any of them.
See: https://github.com/dbeley/awesome-lemmy#tools - scroll up and down the page too might be something that suits you
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.
for myself I find the existing android clients far from adequate. if you have filters, folders, identities etc it is a fuck tonne of set up. last time i tried i just gave up.
