Old man yells at cloud (instance)
He's not shouting at my kbin instance! That's hosted one cold metal! Well, I assume the datacentre is air conditioned at least.
I can see that you very strongly feel something about this … but I can't for the life of me figure out why. Can you show me on this doll where the bad kbin touched you?
i have a kbin account myself just because kbin not lemmy
Why does this matter?
Also, please try using grammar. I had to read that awful block of text like 5 times before I understood what you were saying. And it felt like shouting. Just why??
Some people are excessively sensitive to software developer political views.
Lemmy isn’t Kbin and Kbin isn’t Lemmy. Both are software participants in the fediverse. It is like saying nginx isn’t Apache: of course isn’t, but that doesn’t make them any less web servers.
Sure. I can get behind that.
But do many people actually mix up the two platforms? I haven't seen it much. The devs and sys admins certainly know that there's a difference between the two. And most end users seem to know that there's a difference. But even if the end users can't identify one platform from the other, I still don't see that it matters. I'm familiar with both nginx and apache... But I also don't shout in public forums that the two tools are not the same.
Like I said - there is a small vocal group who few that Lemmy as a whole should be boycotted due to the developers’ political views.
Ah understood. Kbin is the KDE binary to access this "lemmy" subreddit on facebook?
ha ha funi
Senior moment.
Peak schizoposting
Excuse me, what?
What?
Somebody showed grandpa how to use Lemmy? But maybe they forgot to explain how federation works? My view is that if it federates with Lemmy then it's part of Lemmy. I think most would agree with that. Why the gate keeping?
Mastodon is part of Lemmy?
If someone posts from Mastodon to Lemmy, then yeah, that content is now part of Lemmy.
blurry line
HUH?
BEKFEST!
Hello, I am commenting from lemmybin, shoot!
