I still like posting here.

The spam’s a bit much at times and it goes down for days a stretch but I didn’t find any instance during this latest outage even worth considering jumping ship to.

When .social is up, that’s wha’sup.

    @FfaerieOxide me too. I like it, I love the platform, I don’t have an issue with the outages, and I like the way Ernest understands the fediverse.

    If there’s an outage fine, I just go to another fediverse account til kbin.social comes back. We all have other things in our life, sometimes projects have to take a back seat.

    Also I have a lot of sympathy for Ernest wanting to retain control. It’s his vision, let’s let him do it his way.

    Edit: the spam seems to be on mags that have Ernest as sole mod, so that might be an easy fix.

        @FfaerieOxide yes! Well not officially, but after Arotrios had been gone a long time I applied to mod it, mainly as a sort of caretaker/safe pair of hands so that Arotrios will definitely get it back if he returns.

        I don’t know why/where Arotrios went. I kind of thought he’d be back by now.

    One day is annoying, but bearable. much longer and I won’t have a choice but switch. I like kbin, but the mbin team says some things that I find concerning about kbin - I wish the two could patch up their differences.

          I’m curious what counts as a decent instance for you?

          Open signups, non-US servers, GDPR-compliant, file uploads, local magazines among other attributes.

          Also if you visit an instance and it appears that whoever runs it never even conceived you might not be viewing it from a phone, that’s a turn off.

      I also like Lemmy.

      Lemmy hasn’t grabbed me yet like kbin has. Is mastodon as integrated with lemmy as it is with kbin?

      Apparently you can’t say fag on lemmy.world which could cause some problems with some of the magazines I mod here. Also I’m left with negative feelings from lemmy.world not federating images and posts I reply to .world threads from .social.

      -mygrad is right out because I do not believe making common cause with the allies of people who want my friends dead is “…of a progressive character”.

      .ml has similar issues to the above two

      blajah.zone I have no issue with but I just don’t want that to be my home instance. I actually have been trying to break their monopoly on 196 for a while now

      Beehaw is fine but they’re always talking about defederating so that basket seems unfit to slip my eggs into.

      exploding heads is a shit instance for fascists

      sh.itjust.works—and this is no slight toward or reflection on present company—seems like that place for people who complain about “censorship” and “echo chambers” when they get asked to leave a dunkin doughnuts for sig heiling on the counter while making a hitler 'stache out of a cruller. Again not you, I am sure you are lovely, but when someone complains they can’t be transphobic and their account is more than 3 weeks old, odds are good “@sh.itjust.works” is trailing their handle.

    Well I’ll tell ya that I am a big fan of kbin but I am posting this from an mbin instance because this has been going on for a looooong time now.

    Hope for the best while you prepare for the worst.

      And good luck to your instance. I wouldn’t feel as comfortable uploading anything to US servers myself, and I didn’t find any words similar to the following (from your instance) on kbin.social:
