letting more people help with Kbin development.

Why not getting some help? I know that Ernest already said he has a problem trusting people, but

Why has Ernest insisted on being the only developer to work on this? This creates a potential “single point of failure” situation.

I understand the desire to keep kbin a solo project in order to maintain control over it, but if this is going to see any success in the long term, then there needs to be a team.

come up in almost all threads about KBin’s performance. At the time I just read them as nincompoops being whiners.

In hindsight does remind one a bit of similar social pressure leveled against Lasse Collin, does it not?

Not saying people are trying to backdoor this place or anything. The similarity just seemed worth pointing out.

    I saw the term “threadiverse” being used to group all Reddit alternatives interoperable with the Fediverse.

      Yeah, but Meta’s fucked up the application of anything containing “thread”.

      In that case, we could call all social media type frameworks as “Facebooks” (plural)? 😜

      Reddit is odd in that it used to be for deeper discussions as in a forum-board style, but spez decided that he could make more money by trying (& failing) to emulate the successes of Twitter and Facebook. So now it is dominated by children and trolls who, except in some highly specialized niches that are somehow still maintained even after the Rexit debacle, prevent any such discussions with their toxicity and inane babble (I get it - I do it myself - but there is a time and a place, and it has the effect of changing the purpose of the place away from deeper discussions and more towards emo-venting).
