Kbin has a questionable track record of ignoring input from its users and also going offline for a day or more at random. So I created an alt account on Lemmy.

Hey, I know you!

Just look at that penetration

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.

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.

You’re just jealous of our love.

ACTUALLY what you’re referring to is GNU like little Unix sort of like Linux but not really

Good luck doing so. I disconnected the antenna and removed the DCM fuse from my Toyota. Track this motherfuckers 🖕🏻

“Bro, we told you we were bullshitting you, right there in the sign. That means we’re not at fault”

Fuck that shit.

There’s a BBQ place near me, and I ordered tater tots there once, as a side. They were $4. They literally gave me 4 tater tots. They were one dollar apiece.

I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.
