Man, I’m super glad I gave up on kbin at Christmas and migrated when I still had access to everything.
Sorry to hear you lost your community, but I’d be lying if I said this was a surprising outcome. Even back then people were seeing the writing on the wall with ernest’s personal issues, and personal issues are fine and we all have to deal with it. But as someone who has tried to run microservices for friends, I could tell he was less than a year from just turning the servers off.
Here’s hoping you can at least partially resurrect your community. And that ernest is able to get to a good place.
