I previously asked on AskMbin@thebrainbin.org on how to migrate my account to a different instance as I got a error saying “email not verified” after completing my email verification (original post here: https://kbin.earth/m/AskMbin@thebrainbin.org/t/1532246). This made question the security of kbin.earth. And now, I can’t enable 2FA! It says “Error enabling 2FA for account”! Seriously what the hell is going on in kbin.earth? To the developer of Interstellar- You shouldn’t have made kbin.earth the default instance when signing up from the Interstellar app if your instance has some serious security issues! I need answers NOW!
I got “email not verified” error right after I completed my email verification when I signed up on kbin.earth. Not every time I login. I’ve described it in detail in my original post here-https://kbin.earth/index.php/m/AskMbin@thebrainbin.org/t/1532246 . And yes, you are correct I wouldn’t be able to reply or post if my account was really not email verified. But I am able to, so this might be due to some technical error in the code which is executed when the user signs up.
@jwr1
Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s likely just a technical issue, like bentigorlich mentioned in your other thread. I’d say as long as you’re able to access your account, then you’re good to go on that aspect. My only guess as to why the message popped up is due to some sort of delay in the system after you actually verified your account through your email.
I used Ente auth on Android phone running Android 13. And I checked my clock is synced correctly.
Not just this sentence but your whole reply is slightly passive aggressive and you’re asking ME to keep a nicer tone? Haha! I pointed 2 crucial errors both of which are related to account security - one error when the user onboards on the server and the other one when the user tries to secure their account through 2FA. And the reply you gave to both of these are “I’m actually surprised that’s happening” and “I’m not really sure what the issue is there”. You can’t seem to pinpoint on how a specific error pops up and have the audacity to ask other users to “keep a nicer tone” when the user was just pinpointing errors in your instance! And, when did I even have a harsher tone? Is it from the “Seriously what the hell is going on in kbin.earth” from my title? If so, you’re very prudish and shouldn’t be browsing the internet. And you have no right to tell me not to use Mbin at all! I’ll try the account transfer feature in your app or better yet, create my own instance and Android app for Mbin! Try being less of a snowflake and try to accept criticisms for your creations next time. And, if you have time, think about going back to college because you lack CS basics if you can’t pinpoint 2 errors.
@jwr1
Please do actually, if you can. One app is good, but it’s not ideal. There needs to be a wider selection for Mbin.
Not to shit on Interstellar or anything but when I first used it using a guest account I ran into some really weird errors where it would display raw while randomly browsing. It made me frustrated. But there was no alternative so I was stuck with Interstellar. Guess that’ll change in a few months from now.
I’ve actually started working on it. If you see an app for Mbin on Google Play Store/F-Droid/Apple App Store with the publisher name “Ida Josephine” then it’s me!
I agree that jwr1 comes across as a bit passive aggressive here, but you’re the one that started it. If you’re wondering why, take another look at what you wrote:
This is definitely really rude. Your comment here is also significantly ruder and way more aggressive than jwr1’s was.
Judging by what jwr1 said, this seems to be a rare issue with Mbin itself, likely caused by something on your end. It has nothing to do with kbin.earth specifically, or at least that’s what it looks like. That’s probably why jwr1 is taking it more lightly and not as seriously as you are. kbin.earth just runs the latest Mbin code after all, and jwr1 isn’t an Mbin dev themselves — they just use the API. So while they’re willing to help, this isn’t really their problem directly. You should be bringing it up with the Mbin devs instead.
On a side note, are you seriously upvoting and boosting your own content…?
If you’re doing the upvoting because Lemmy users start at 1 upvote: don’t. The initial Lemmy self-upvote is a lie, or at least was when I last checked. It’s there to discourage users from upvoting their own posts, and it’s only cosmetic. There’s no initial self-upvote behnd the scenes, at least as seen from the federated side. Newly created posts and comments federate with 0 upvotes from Lemmy instances.
No good faith idea why you’d boost your own content though.
I am very sorry that I came across that way, I was certainly not trying to sound passive aggressive.
I only mentioned I was surprised about it just because I’ve never had any other users report the error to me, that’s all. I also haven’t encountered either of the two issues myself.
That is true. I run this Mbin instance, but I’m not necessarily an Mbin dev, so I wouldn’t say I know the ins and outs of everything.
That wasn’t what I was trying to say. I was just suggesting that maybe it’s not for you, but of course, you can use whatever you want.
