I actually started on Kbin.social, but then it got shut down, Kbin died and now fedia.io seems to be the largest one running MBin. I like the interface on MBin and I guess it’s good to have a diverse fediverse with different services, but at the same time, why use mbin when everyone congregates on lemmy instances? The local magazines on fedia are for the most part, quite dead, when compared to lemmy collections. In the end I feel like there aren’t enough people to go around to support many more services like MBin and Piefed.

    Well that sucks, I was enjoying that instance. Oh well, Fedia will do, mostly the same in the end 🤷‍♂️

      Unfortunately the risk of joining something hosted by usually lone individuals. I’m guessing the admin has mental issues, some life event happened and they decided to vanish. Sucks to do things this sudden and without warning though.

        Why are you guessing the mental issues part? Has the admin given any indications of that in the past?

        Because, it sounds to me, that if he was running a free service on his free time because he felt like it, then he doesn’t owe anybody anything. He can simply vanish for the simple reason that he got bored, and that should be enough.

          Because people don’t normally just remove all of their projects and accounts from one day to another.

            I don’t know, man. To me that’s still speculation. But did say you were guessing, so that’s okay. I just thought that you had a clear indicator of mental issues.

            It could very well be that someone started stalking him, or sending him death threats, and he simply said “yeah, fuck this.”

            Or that he started the project to get some groupie ass, then got ass, then he was done with it all.

            Or he got bored and moved on to the next interesting thing.
