Put the acorn down

The 10 people who would’ve voted for him are very upset

Just look at that penetration

Making money and having people love you without being a total dog shit company. What a concept.

He got JP-5 all over her new shoes

OP you said the quiet part out loud. We aren’t supposed to bring this up because it’s apparently a very touchy subject.

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.

Everything is legal unless you get caught

Congrats! What car? Will you be letting the Stig drive it?
