I obviously appreciate the work @ernest has done and the team that's working on kbin but I'd like to know more about you. I apologize if the answers to these questions have been already answered.

What made you want to create kbin?
What are your goals with kbin?
Personal opinions or philosophy worth noting or the driving force behind kbin?
How can I support kbin?

I prefer him cloaked in shadow. I don't wanna know anything about his hopes, dreams or ideologies.

That shit already ruined Lemmy for me. Let me live in blissful ignorance just this once.

Yeah, I like the "I just like building stuff" Ernest right now. Not everyone needs an agenda or a story. Some people just want to put things together and see how they move.

I'm liking Kbin too much to start hating it now! Please, Ernest, don't tell us who you really are

He is just a guy from Poland trying to fix the internet.

You have several ways how you could support kbin. Try to join our kbin community on matrix. Help users with their issues or ideas.

Also you can help with translations or creating bug reports on Codeberg. Or actually contribute to the code (php) also on codeberg.

You can donate to Ernest personally (via a virtual coffee). And much more ways you can help I didn't thought about yet.

I will welcome you on Matrix!

In case you wanted to know more about how his work is funded. Lemmy is funded by the same program.

Always good to hear from the primary admins / owners to understand more about them. He's been pretty busy recently coordinating an the updated and bug fixes, but hopefully he'll create a new post at some point to say hi
