Is the kbin project completely dead?

the repo has nothing going on

the kbin.social website partly loads with error

did it just evaporate? or what?

      I’ll never fully understand why humans are so quick to judge and offer non-constructive criticism on someone else’s creative work. It seems like the least knowledge are most often the loudest in this regard.

        Communication is difficult, especially over text, and emotions can get strong as there is a lot of work involved. Software developers are not always the greatest diplomats. Well-intended constructive feedback is often read as criticism, and situations escalate. And for whatever reason people love picking sides.

        At least Mbin seems like a healthy project now, and since Kbin.social went down for good it’s hard to argue a fork wasn’t needed. Hopefully Ernest is alive and recovering well - he did us all a huge service by creating Kbin and making it open source.
