From this post (https://sopuli.xyz/post/15865566) on !AskMbin@fedia.io

It’s very likely related, but we also figured out that both of debounced’s (the admin of kbin.run) accounts on GitHub and Matrix were deleted last night. So there is a possibility that kbin.run is no more.

    Well I started on kbin.social, migrated to kbin.run…

    Are there any other servers anyone would like me to ruin?

      Well, it could be you, or it could be me, as I’ve hit the same waypoints.

      fedia.io wasn’t taking sign-ups at the time I went to kbin.run, but they are right now, so that’s where I’ve ended up this time.

      If this one dies too, I guess I’ll take the jinx with me back to Reddit and see what happens there.

        My home instance was kbin.run, and when I found debounced (its admin) was an Mbin maintainer/contributor it made me feel good about the lifespan of the instance. Now I don’t feel so good… if they dipped without any warning, so can you.

        And they did this a few weeks after they put up a “how is my driving?” check-in post about how users felt about their server running, and I said it was going well… pretty sure I also said something about being grateful they were long-running, and talked on other places on the Fediverse about how reliable kbin.run was… all signs pointed to the instance having longevity.

        Wonder if they just got hacked or something, because it really was out of nowhere, with no warning signs like Ernest had.

        Kind of upset because I don’t mind hopping accounts, but I had a magazine there, !otomegames@kbin.run. I had just started it new a few weeks ago, moving from its longer-lived iteration on kbin.social because I was unaware kbin.social was down. And now if debounced does not come back I’ll have to make yet another new version of the community. Does not set a good precedent, “will I have to put up with constant new versions to follow this community?” The most appropriate place would be ani.social but I’d also probably have to make yet another Lemmy alt to mod it properly—things like reports do not seem to federate properly unless your account is on the same instance as the community you mod. And I really do not want to give Lemmy more users at the expense of Mbin. Lemmy is already the big guy, and we want more diversity on the Fediverse. So I can probably just remake it on whatever Mbin instance I end up on.

          I can absolutely understand that. I was very surprised as well as I stated often 😅 I can only tell you that I’ve been running my mastodon server a little longer and I commit to the mastodon server covenant (I think that is what its called). But if you have any doubts you should join fedia.io. Jerry has been a reliable admin for years and years (of all kinds of services)

            Sorry, I realized my message came off as an attack. Did not mean it that way.

            I’ll probably not do that because I would much rather support smaller instances and fedia.io is big for Mbin. I’ll probably go with you and hope you do not do a debounced. (The only reason I have a .world is because I needed it to effectively mod the preexisting community !bunnies@lemmy.world whose original mod disappeared for about a year before I asked to take over.)

          Out of curiosity, you seemed interested, knowledgeable, and reliant on them so were you giving them money?

        I just made an account on Fedia, but I’ll sign up for brain bin as well later. I think my username might suit that instance.

      I’ve had the same path; started out on .social, then moved to .run. Now I’m on fedia.io wondering when I’ll have to scout out a fourth.

      After I kbin.socials constant issues I moved to Leemy.world and like it a lot better. I miss magazines as opposed to communities, but it’s pot-ato po-tato and there don’t seem to be any outages.

        I actually miss the microblog integration on vanilla kbin, but I don’t think we’ll ever get that back.

        I might just finally give up and settle on lemmy. There are a lot of really good apps for it these days.

      Same for me, there was a temporary sidetrek to lemmy land, but like 'bin way more and deleted that account.
