I know some of you consider this as documented whining. I hear you but won’t stop sharing my opinion and reminding. I recommend continuing commenting on the original post to keep it a bit organized (this post is a link to it)
Update: this thread has gotten out of hand. This is not what I intended, this is not what anybody should want. Let’s leave it at this, for now.
I think this is the most level headed pro-mbin comment I ever read.
If the project could attract and retain more of this energy it would only be a good thing.
You’re making me wonder now what weird shit I’ve wandered my way into
Edit: Welp, I looked into the drama; not enough to really understand it but enough to get a general idea. All I can really say is I want no part of it.
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.
Agreed, I also hope for this to be the case (and tried my besht to facilitate it), but as you can see you could say that mbin’s community building is …not so great right now.
