Kbin seemed tio take a nice long sleep there. I almost assumed it had fallen over for good. I Really hate the generic, undated ‘over the next few days we are working on servers’ mesesage.
This time, another official /kbin server, in Polish (karab.in) was working during all the kbin.social’s sleep.
I will repost my comment from https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/838165/What-s-going-on-with-kbin-social
This time is probably unrelated to @ernest’s supposed inactivity. Actually, his another /kbin server, https://karab.in has been brought back on 15 of February.
Why not kbin.social? Well, this server is co-administered by FTdL (Technology for People Foundation) (https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/177112).
Entire FTdL infrastructure was down from 16 o’clock in Cracow to this morning.
Oh wow, what a day for the fediverse huh? Kbin’s infrastructure went down, Lemmy.ml’s certs expired (or so Firefox told me), and a ton of Misskey servers got hacked and started botspamming everyone.
Thank you. That makes sense
its not the outage that bothers me, its the complete lack of communication.
Exactly this. There’s no way to know what’s going on when kbin goes down. It would be nice if there was a kbin Mastodon account or something people could check for information when the site is down.
I ended up finding another fork Mbin, but I’ll be fucked if I know how to sign up to it.
its /register
Oh heck, thanks. Turns out I somehow landed on someone’s dev instance and they had registration disabled
