I really miss kbin… 😔(no hard feelings, I genuinely wish Ernest the best and hope he makes a comeback)

I actually tried migrating my account from there before the major issues, as a backup, but realised it didn’t back up my blocked lists, which are much harder for me to recreate than my subscribed list and settings are, so decided to wait and see if anyone improved the migration tools.

Then it became too late, and I had to start from scratch, and am now regretting the instance I chose, and have not yet had the brain space to check out the other kbin/mbin instances and find a new one I like. Until then I’m reluctant to participate.

If anything, the last couple of months, with kbin dying and realising how uncomfortable I am on an instance run by people who have expectations from their users I fundamentally disagree with, have made me want to start my own private kbin/mbin instance for myself so that I don’t end up in either situation again, but I don’t know that it’s something I can take on, having no programming knowledge or any experience with anything like that.

So yes, I agree with you, for more than the reasons you’ve provided, and I hope we, as a general community use these developments to learn and improve.

Well yeah, don’t you know? Pregnancy is “wholesome” while sex is “dirty”, any relationship between the two is purely coincidental…

I knew I’d heard of this before, thanks for saving me hours of racking my brain trying to remember where… 😂

Spot on. These replies are maddening…

Do you know where this person lives and what food places are available near them? No, you don’t, so how the fuck do you know? Food deserts exist, there are whole towns that depend on dollar stores for groceries. You having options doesn’t mean everyone does.

(E: not that someone needs to be in that situation to justify to you or anyone else why they eat what they do, just pointing out how flawed your base assumptions are)

Ignoring the fact that you also need the spare time and energy to prepare a fresh meal every day after potentially working 2 or 3 jobs and maybe taking care of a couple of kids. And never mind disabled people who can’t cook for themselves…

It’s interesting how people who make these judgments like you never seem to be this critical of the people who own the fast food chains and actively make the decision to sell shit food for obscene prices, or our economy forcing people in to corners where it’s their only option (even if it isn’t yours). I guess it’s just so much easier punching down, eh?

“go spend your time and money to prove me right because I wasn’t able to prove myself right about a stranger spending 2 dollars more than I would” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Hey, guess what - not everyone is able to go out to eat (not only due to physical disability, but lack of time and energy, and lets not forget a pandemic is still raging out there, and some people can’t just ignore it like the rest of you).

The fact that you’re getting all high and mighty over a poster whose life you know nothing about, for the sake of 2 dollars says a lot more about you than spending 30 bucks on fast food says about well, anyone.
