/kbin - a few quick announcements

Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's functionality should stabilize, and the traffic from the fediverse will gradually be restored. I've decided to delegate some tasks as I can no longer oversee everything at this stage. There are many offers of help for which I'm very grateful, and I haven't had a chance to respond to some of them yet because I only just saw them - a lot is happening, really.

As I mentioned before, new possibilities have emerged that I couldn't have imagined before. All of this is thanks to your support; you are incredible, and I thank you. That's why it's crucial for me to ensure transparency in everything we do and provide regular reports. I want to share as much information behind the scenes as possible. That's why it may seem like it's taking a long time, but I truly want to make the most of every cent.

Now, onto the bad news. I messed up.

The workload overwhelmed me, and I couldn't read all your messages. I will diligently work my way through them, but I need time.

The registration system is far from perfect, so from time to time, I manually verify and activate accounts whose activation links didn't arrive. Please check again later if you find yourself in such a situation.

The queue for account deletions is stuck. Manual fix is needed, which will be difficult until the infrastructure is moved. I have recorded all 230 account deleiton requests, and each one will definitely be deleted, but I also need time for that. I apologize for this. If someone wants their account to be immediately deleted, please send an email through the contact form starting with "DELETE MY ACCOUNT" - it will be easier for me to filter it out, and I will delete the account manually.

That's all from me. I'm going back to stirring the cauldron. Thank you for all the messages and kind words. Thank you for being here. Have a nice day!

I’m just in awe that you’ve managed to keep this instance up. Congratulations on that and your clear communication. It really must be overwhelming.

Good news you’ve found people to delegate to.

Being overwhelmed is not messing up. Taking care of number 1 should always be a priority.

Am glad to see some delegation happening. Developing, running and modding a service as large as KBin has become is no easy task for 1 person and you've done spectacular so far.

Number 2, too. Hemorrhoids are no joke.

Thank you for all your hard work! I’m looking forward to seeing how kbin develops, and have no problems waiting for improvements. Slow and steady is better than fast and burned out!

Thank you for the updates! It's quite refreshing to see some transparency from the owners (especially in recent years).

@ernest I can’t image what a wild ride this has been. I want you to know we all appreciate the difficulty of the situation and understand the enormity of your efforts. I’ve seen many take on the responsibility of sharing the info you share out there with new users when questions get posted.

As someone who’s job is in this kind of environment, I sympathise, and I hope you can catch some rest!

Thanks for the updates and your work! Don't think anyone could've forseen the amount of work needed in such a short amount of time. Happy to read you're willing to delegate and not break yourself over all this.
