letting more people help with Kbin development.
…
Why not getting some help? I know that Ernest already said he has a problem trusting people, but
Why has Ernest insisted on being the only developer to work on this? This creates a potential “single point of failure” situation.
I understand the desire to keep kbin a solo project in order to maintain control over it, but if this is going to see any success in the long term, then there needs to be a team.
come up in almost all threads about KBin’s performance. At the time I just read them as nincompoops being whiners.
In hindsight does remind one a bit of similar social pressure leveled against Lasse Collin, does it not?
Not saying people are trying to backdoor this place or anything. The similarity just seemed worth pointing out.
Piefed also looks promising.
That one interoperable with Mastodon like Kbin is?
Nope, and it doesn’t seem to be on the agenda either. Kbin/Mbin is still the only platform(s) to try to bridge the two.
Moreover it seems to have better discoverability than mastodon Mastodon. I can type a word or phrase in the search bar on kbin and find “Mastodon” posts whereas I’m stuck viewing whatever is timeline trending on Mastodon proper unless I follow someone or can figure out whatever hashtag person might have affixed to their post.
Even with kbin being down a good 1/5 of the time it remains the best ActivityPub viewing experience (in my).
