It’s very likely related, but we also figured out that both of debounced’s (the admin of kbin.run) accounts on GitHub and Matrix were deleted last night. So there is a possibility that kbin.run is no more.

Oof. Worst way to go. I mean, doing so for personal accounts is fine but that's a lot of collateral in form of the users there. People always say to spread out over instances, but then shit like this happens. Most users don't want to run from one instance to another because the admins decided to stop (or due to other issues with them).

I guess that explains the 500s here on Fedia?

The question is when fedia does the same? It's as if these instances were hosted by extremely unstable people.

Jerry has been pretty good at communicating so far. Even back when it was kbin he announced early that they might have to switch to Lemmy because of all the issues, before finding out about mbin and switching to that. Mbin has been a little bumpy too but updates and fixes come in frequently and as a user you can feel the platform changing and evolving too. So I'm not too worried about fedia just vanishing from one day to another.
