Dude, where's my Kbin? - Apollo Town (apollo.town)

Looks like the admin for kbin.lol has some pretty valid gripes with the current status of Kbin. I have to agree, you can tell the platform is not up to speed at all.

Kbin looks visually great but the backend just isn't there. Check out his statement, it's worth the read.

As a user, I plan to continue sticking with kbin.social for now because it's working well enough. Not perfectly, I can see Federation issues, but I'm comfortable with an imperfect experience in exchange for giving it support.

I don't actually have a big issue with the Tankie devs behind Lemmy. It's open source, they have no control over it, if they try any funny business they'll be forked away lickety-split. But I think it's vital for an open standard to have more than one independent implementation. That keeps the implementers honest, nobody can just slip in a convenient little "extension" because theirs is the only client using the standard anyway.
