Cool, and I respect that. And I respect Ernest for what he does and he doesn’t owe anyone anything at all. But if you open source a thing and then almost completely ignore your user base, it’s just a bit disappointing.
Computers are neat. Burritos are good.

Where are the warnings? If they’re in some particular magazine that maybe not every user is subscribed to, then this is a bad practice.
I’m not one to knock a developer on their software. Making things like kbin are complex and they certainly take effort to maintain and improve. That being said, these are my complaints about the management of kbin:
Why is there hardly ever any feedback from Ernest about why kbin is down? It just comes back up and that’s the end of it, until the next outage. A link to an explanation, or detailed banner message, or a schedule would be nice, assuming that these outages are scheduled.
Why has Ernest insisted on being the only developer to work on this? This creates a potential “single point of failure” situation.
None of the git issues on Codeberg seem to get triaged or responded to.
Ernest rarely responds to DMs on kbin.
At this point, I think I’m just going to create an alternate Lemmy account to avoid these blackouts.
Shockingly, it appears that it still has an average 480k daily players
You guys close your browser? Weird
Aww that’s cute, they’re trying to be big boy computers now
That guy’s sitting up really straight. He must be CIA
I’m planting cat pictures throughout your file system
Here’s mine, come and get me
127.0.0.1
The line is going up. My sources tell me this is good.
Backlog it, low priority.
I’m not self hosting an instance, but kbin is super fucking broken lately and it’s getting really frustrating. It’s been about a week. I submitted a ticket in their Git repo, but no response.
BCU seems to inaccurately report that some things are removed successfully, only for them to return to the list upon restarting the uninstaller.
I was hopeful but not optimistic. Thanks.
Will it be released on other platforms also?
Making money and having people love you without being a total dog shit company. What a concept.
