Every time I try to upvote or boost something, there’s a solid 20% chance it’ll link to an Error page titled “Log in”. That percentage seems to increase the longer I’ve had my Kbin tab open without refreshing it.
Even more annoyingly, it regularily logs me off completely, forcing me to input my information again. It’s especially annoying on mobile since it won’t even remember my password for some reason, which was randomly generated, meaning it’s a pain to re-enter it every time.
The effect is that it’s making me interact with Kbin less and less, I end up just scrolling without upvoting or commenting or anything, and ultimately I also just use the site less overall.
I like it here otherwise, but this one bug is making Kbin a real chore to use, and I know a lot more people have been experiencing it for a while now.
I have a router based service that blocks ads and has a bunch of security features. Part of the service, is a subscription to 1password and a vpn service. I happily use 1password and I buy my own vpn. They just switched vpn providers so I need to look them up, but I will still keep my current vpn since it’s tied to email and a bunch of services.
