Ootl, what was wrong with kbin that led to the fork? I thought Ernest had quite a bit of support from the community
@wahming @yogthos I have this same question. What motivated the fork?
don't know what the background story is, just ran across the fork and figured I'd share it
@yogthos Quite fair; I was just curious.

@melroy @yogthos @wahming @SamXavia (et al.) Thank you for the explanation! While I'm not a kbin user myself (I just have a Lemmy account), I'm still glad (as a threadiverse and fediverse user) there are people keeping the project going and developing it. I can definitely understand the sudden influx of reddit users being quite a shock for maintainers, so it's heartening to see the platform survive and continue onwards, thanks to the magic of being open-source.
that seems like a pretty sensible reason, open source working as intended
Yea this is the power of open-source indeed. See also my response to "stu" a little down below in this same thread.
