Like seriously, where are the current ones at? There's too much trash and clutter posts here.

@Toes @snownyte @otter

There are two mods currently, Ernest, admin of kbin as well as owner of /m/tech, and @artillect, who hasn't been seen (except for votes maybe?) for 8 months.

The word is that Ernest has real-life problems and can't maintain kbin at the moment.

I've applied here and a bunch of other places but hopefully better-qualified, more active people have also applied; Even if I get it, I can't be here all the time.

... but it needs the owner of the magazine, Ernest, who isn't around, to accept the applications.

That's a fundamental flaw I am seeing with the fediverse, least some instances while understanding it's not exclusive to just here. When the head of a community isn't around, it's free game for those to shit all over it unanswered. It's frustrating and I had wished there would have been some plans to have backup individuals capable of upholding the values of the community to prevent it from falling down or into the wrong hands.

The fediverse is supposed to be a representative of an alternative escape for those tired of the centralized networks of social media. When we're dealing with cases like these, it just makes everything look weak and unattractive to would be newcomers just beginning to understand the alternatives of the fediverse.

I would apply myself but really I can admit that I might not always be around either and knowing people are facing issues, it sucks.
