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!
G’day Ernest,
I am the admin of kbin.lol, and I would like to assist more in the Codeberg in cleaning up and labeling feature requests, closing WontFix, etc. I have a WFH job and plenty of time on my hands, and years of experience in tech support and Git management. My handle over on Codeberg is tekeous.
Additionally I would like to again reach out and offer that as soon as Fedi integration is working again, my instance is running and ready to scale up at a moment’s notice. I would like to see some of these bugs fixed(account deletions, XSS vuln) before I really ramp it up, but I am ready and waiting to assist with the influx of users.
I have sent a Contact Us form and I understand that you’re probably getting a lot of requests, hence this comment. Please reach out by email to [email protected] if you have any further questions or discussions.
