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.
I made an mbin account to jump to whenever kbin stops functioning, which has been more frequent than I had expected. Each time I end up subscribing to more and more magazines over there to reach parity with my kbin account. Mbin hasn’t been enough of a carrot on its own to make me want to switch completely, but it’s always been working fine and even slightly easier to navigate. I’ve just got this lurking hunch that kbin will eventually end up like Artemis, the way it feels ignored at times.
