I can’t seem to find any info on this, when I open the page it just responded with error 500. It was like this last week, and still is right now.

    Pretty well summed up. I checked in on things now and then when kbin was still fairly functional.

    Ernest went radio silent for long stretches of time, where before he was pretty active on kbin. He resurfaced a couple times to let people know he wasn’t dead or anything, and explained that some fairly serius medical issues were keeping him from doing much work.

    He expressed a desire and hope to return to running kbin, but it wasn’t to be. Eventually the main instance just broke, and without Ernest around to fix it, it stayed that way.

    As mentioned, we now have mbin (fedia.io) which is being developed by other developers and building atop kbin.

    Hopefully Ernest is able to take care of himself, whatever he is now up to.

        Yup. I sent him some money via that koffe thing he had up, and I don’t regret it - it’s important to maintain a diversity of clients in a decentralized system like the Threadiverse.
