What Is Mbin

Mbin is a decentralized content aggregator, voting, discussion and microblogging platform running on the fediverse network. It can communicate with many other ActivityPub services, including Kbin, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Peertube. The initiative aims to promote a free and open internet.

Mbin is a fork of /kbin, community-focused. Feel free to discuss on Matrix and to create Pull Requests.

Mbin is focused on what the community wants, pull requests can be merged by any repo maintainer (with merge rights in GitHub). Discussions take place on Matrix then consensus has to be reached by the community. If approved by the community, only one approval on the PR is required by one of the Mbin maintainers. It's built entirely on trust.
