Incredible to think about that we got it right the first time (with email) and still had to spend the last 20 years complaining about centralized social networks.

I do not agree with you. Yes I'm a developer myself of Mbin. And I created Mbin. However, the problem with decentralization is that you still need to trust the developers who are building the decentralized apps. So within a decentralized ecosystem the centralized point are the developers and its project.

If you do not agree with Lemmy, you can go to Mbin. And visa versa; if you do not agree with Mbin devs, you can go to Lemmy, etc. Meaning you do need to have alternatives, otherwise choice is an illusion and decentralization is also an illusion.

Big fan of mbin,

I'm sure this has been asked before, but do you plan on adding support for lemmy's api? Lemmy really has the edge in apps.

There's !interstellar@kbin.earth

Exactly, Mbin has Interstellar. And Mbin also has an API, since that is what Interstellar is using.
