Kbin has seen a staggering amount of growth in the past few weeks, and with it a bunch of discussion about issues and bugs.
Constructive criticism will help make kbin even greater, but i wanted to take some time to appreciate how great of an app it has been to use these past few weeks, and to the sole developer @ernest for all the long hours put in to keep things running smoothly.
Keep up the great work!
Right. so while the majority of users may struggle due to the technical nature, the reality is that currently there appears to be 75 different kbin instances. meaning if this (1) instance has problems, you can simply move to one of the other 74 instances and keep using kbin as normal. Even if ernest decided to 100% shut down kbin.social, those other instances still exist and he can’t touch them.
Also, @Aesthesiaphilia, it looks like some provider just announced that they’re providing managed kbin instances (like, they set it up, handle updates and such) starting at $10/month.

My guess is that there will be other providers.
That isn’t necessary to achieve what Otome-chan is going for, but will probably bring down the bar for people who want to have full control over their site but don’t want to deal with the technical side or want to only deal with a limited amount of it.
