in even split and also became Mbin as well(which was literally "I don't like how they're running Kbin and they won't do what I want, so I'm starting my own" by user Melroy).

this is objectively bullshit. kbin was run and managed by one guy who could not keep up and had serious personal issues. the mbin fork is just a community developed version, far more resilient to individual dev whims but still open for anyone to contribute

It's named Mbin after Melroy. Dude filled Lemmy and Kbin with bitching posts for months. First it was the instance he worked on not listening to him so he started his own. Then it was people not joining his instance and only the "popular" ones. Then he got Kbin to agreee to let him work on the project and shit on Lemmy saying Kbin was the real future. But when that didn't go his way either, he made Mbin while shitting on Kbin. I am well aware of the massive ego behind Mbins creation and it is a PERFECT example of "fuck you, I'll make my own".

ETA: oh yeah, and the time when he was supposedly a Lemmy developer too... Who left on bad terms.

Seriously, check the guys resume. He's been supposedly attached to almost every federation project and has left all of them on bad terms when things didn't go his way. Each and every time was "it's not going the direction I want, so I'm starting a new version". The exact point about splintering communities from my OG comment.

dude you have so much anger over absolutely nothing. youre really holding on to something that doesnt really exist, and i hope you get the help you need.

kbin shit its own bed. i know as i financially contributed to kbin and was very hurt when ernest went fucking nowhere with it. how many kbin servers are there? zero. there are zero.

the current mbin open source project is community based using community standards of contribution, has had loads of contributors and does not belong to melroy.

Not only that, I am reading angry commenter's comments from an mbin instance. 🤷‍♂️

I share your sentiment in the original comment but you are off about the kbin/mbin situation.
