I don’t mind waiting for things to be fixed what with life interfering with things, but I can’t find any activity from Ernest lately. He hasn’t been, like… hit by a bus or anything terrible like that, has he?
I bet a lot of folks have just quietly given up or moved to lemmy or mbin because they’ve gotten frustrated with all the issues.
I guess it’s not quiet once I post this, but I submitted the account deletion request a couple weeks back and spent some time setting my feedly back up after 1 too many spam posts. I’m already getting my scrolling fix from rss feeds again, and this is the first time I’ve been on kbin in a week.
tl;dr: you’re right.
It doesn’t help that whenever this comes up there’s a contingent of users who jump to Ernest’s “defense” by calling the folks raising these issues “concern trolls” and accusing them of shilling for mbin.
No, this is simply a matter of what is actually working well. The point of federation is that one shouldn’t need to have “loyalty” to any particular instance or any particular platform. Use whichever one’s working.
I have literally never seen posts like that. I like kbin well enough and tend to defend it somewhat but trolls/shilling thats just redic.
