Today was the first day I opened kbin and it felt like... not home, per se, but... familiar? I suddenly realized I'm genuinely enjoying this new spot!

Well this ernest dude seems like he's reacting quickly to criticisms. The NSFW posts were showing full pictures and there was a complaint to have the preview blurred out. Took less than 12 hours for him to implement that so that's a plus

Ernest is a Chad for sure. We've exploded in number almost overnight and he's been working his ass off to keep everything not only up and running but improving.

How do I kick in to pay kbin.social costs?

This is the only one I know of right now: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

I hope @ernest opens up a page somewhere that allows me to make monthly donations, because I'd really like to support the continued development of this app and the hosting of this site.

Ernest actually reminds me of u/ljdawson, the dev behind the Sync app. He's responsive, takes criticism well, and seems to genuinely care about the platform he's created. Hard to go wrong with that.

I was wondering how long it would take before someone made this pun. Time to reset the timer…

[–] nerfzeri@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

i don't think that's "criticisms" and more of just feedback.

Well, I'm definitely buying Ernest a coffee now: buymeacoffee.com/kbin

This gives me a 404 now, I found this

Well this ernest dude

The importance of being earnest.

Looks like this time was about 4 hours.

I like kbin a lot already too. I like the highly functional feel. It's close enough to Reddit that I hope it draws in more users. I found it a lot more approachable than Mastodon, and "Lemmy" just doesn't have a nice ring to it IMO.
