Cross posting this over here because of the obvious federation delay. If you’re already here, feel free to leave your comments on this thread instead of waiting for the 12-24h delay on kbin, but feel free to comment there should you wish.

    I’m genuinely surprised at how quick growth has been over here. kbin has become near inaccessible to me, so I’ve been more active here by default.

    I saw Ernest’s proof of life post and I genuinely wish him well. But since a big part of our community is live show discussion, we need stability and federation to behave themselves.

    @GeekFTW Since we’re keeping kbin as our back up, don’t forget to log in once every month to make sure no one wrestles (pun intended!) ownership from you.

      This. I wish kbin well, hope to see it flourish much more and get better, but imagine a huge ppv with 12-24h comment delays, that’s just death.

      And no worries, I’ll be checking into kbin daily to keep a quick eye for spam and such given kbin has no ‘lock community’ feature.

        I have no intention of deleting my kbin account, so if you ever need a break from that, shoot me a message.

            If you’ll indulge me, I’d like to float another option: Tellum seems to not want to move from kbin, and I don’t think we should force him if he doesn’t want to. Perhaps we should pass ownership of the magazine to him? I know that risks splitting us up, but kbin doesn’t have a lock feature anyway. And he was concerned about possibly alienating Mastodon users. We could always just treat m/squaredcircle as our siblings from another… mibling?

            edit: “Siblings in another building”, that’s what I should have went with!

              I mean I’m not opposed should he want it (was just in the middle of typing a response to his comment on the AEW thread so I’ll toss the idea out there in it to him). We’ll all be staying subbed to both likely no matter what so people can comment and post where ever. I just know myself, I’ll be putting in my effort over here since I have zero faith in Ernest anymore.
