Dude, where's my Kbin? - Apollo Town (apollo.town)

Looks like the admin for kbin.lol has some pretty valid gripes with the current status of Kbin. I have to agree, you can tell the platform is not up to speed at all.

Kbin looks visually great but the backend just isn't there. Check out his statement, it's worth the read.

The idea of combining the two isn't necessarily bad, Kbin has some good ideas and I guess that's why it's gotten popular, there are just some baffling stuff too.

The leftover terminology from Mastodon makes some sense (haven't used that one myself), maybe the founder thought the majority of users would join from there, but the magazine thing just confuses me since they are clearly just communities filled with threads. When I browse single picture meme posts or questions on AskKbin my first thought isn't "ah yes, Articles in a Magazine".
