I’m having to register to Lemmy directly now, when I’m used to posting from KBin’s instance. But now the errors is getting so bothersome that I can’t even surf around currently on it. The 50x error comes up after everytime I post somewhere, like make a thread.

The current admin is dealing with issues at the moment and can’t always be there, which is unfortunate because it sets up KBin and it’s magazines to be contaminated with bots, spam and other problems.

    I’m not offended. @snownyte@lemmy.world is, from I understand, basically asking the community to help out the main dev of kbin. From what I’ve seen, that main dev doesn’t want to relinquish control of the main instance or allow others to come on. Nor have they shown willingness for similar actions in the code-base.

    That’s a completely valid stance. It’s his project, his baby, his time and nobody should be able to force him to take any other action. However, it does come with the consequences observed: bots, unmerged pull requests, slow-moving code, and just general stagnation as the project moves as fast the main dev. As such, IMO there’s no problem recommending a fork that is community-driven (the C4 model is great!).

    Hopefully I’m not misunderstanding your comment.
