I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn’t given up on kbin. It’s not on this magazine, so I’m not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case.
Reassuring us that things will improve at some point someday probably isn’t enough, and I both moderate and donate to him every month, so I’m a pretty “serious” kbinner. I’m sure we’ve already lost many people who are less dedicated and just want something that works.
This site has been nearly unusable for days. There was the one day recently where it was entirely unusable. Everybody who uses this platform is an 'internet person". We need a platform which is (mostly) fully functional (mostly) every day.
Kbin needs to be fixed.
Ernest needs to give up on this being a one-man show and invite other moderators and contributors. Even I am looking at mbin because usability has just been so terrible that it’s not worth the frustration and disappointment.

Edit: To make this thread even better, I got an error when I tried to post it. Twice.
Did you even read the post? The point is I don’t want to leave. I like kbin, but I can’t use it if it doesn’t work.
https://kbin.earth/ seems to be a nice kbin instances ran by the guy behind the Interstellar app, in case you want another kbin instance!
I do agree with you though - kbin.social is a lovely place but it’s large enough that it needs a proper moderation team.
