I also created a Matrix space around the room: c/Linux space. @[email protected] I hope you don't mind, this allow to easily scale to multiple rooms in the future.

MODERATORS
Sure, why not. I'm not the creator of the room ๐
I don't know if any other mods are there. I'm not there. Feel free to send me a DM if you see any spam or needs for moderators. We would do something about it, of course.
I know that @[email protected] is there. Maybe he can make you a mod there too? And the channel could be added to the sidebar of this community too.
Oh, I have no intentions to join. That's what I meant to say. I find the instant messaging rooms a bit overwhelming. Unless is strictly necessary for moderation, and even then I'd be looking for long-term alternatives (as in, other mods here or whatever)
#linux ?
@melroy @tinkralge isn't mbin a fork of the abandonned kbin ?
Yes Mbin is a fork of kbin. Why?
@melroy @tinkralge i wasn't sure, thanks
I created the fork, so if you have any follow-up question, just let me know ;)
EDIT: Mbin also has a Matrix space, while we at here: https://matrix.to/#/#mbin:melroy.org
@melroy @tinkralge i've seen many peoples comparing it to lemmy, what's the differences ?
Mbin support quite a lot of activitypub protocols, including PeerTube even.
Mbin also support microblogs like Mastodon, all within the same web frontend.
Mbin has quite an impressive moderation tools by now, while we are still improving moderation support.
Mbin has a very different user-interface, which I like much much better than Lemmy UI.
Mbin also has tons of user-side options to fine-tune the UI, like Infinite scrolling, moving the menu to the left-side, different themes, page width settings, sticky navbar, and so much more!
Mbin is developed by a developers who aren't Lemmy core devs (I'm not going into more details here).
Mbin has a very complete API, allowing app developers like Interstellar to develop apps around Mbin instances.
Mbin is still in heavy development, we implement tons of new features, frontend improvements and bugfixes every single day/week.
Mbin embraces the C4 specification for contributors, meaning that every person could become a core developer.
@melroy @tinkralge what do you mean by lemmy core dev ?
@melroy @tinkralge Im a hexbear user. I've never seen any claim about it. Weirdly when liberals are supporting israel it's "political opinion".
@[email protected] I mean it is? I'm a liberal tho
It's different to deny genocide and deny the extince of the country, I think Armenian genocide happened and is bad, but I don't deny Turkey's right to exist?
@Fitik @tinkralge @melroy That's the difference between you and me, i support the palestinians and deny the existence of israel
Maybe we just should be positive here, we are all humans. We only live once and I didn't go to the fediverse for this kind of politics.
@melroy @tinkralge @Fitik everything is political, and the "we are all humans" dosn't work for thoses discriminating the others
