I think there’s room for discussion on the best term.

I choose unhoused because they often have homes, whether it’s tents or a broken down car or something else entirely. Calling them homeless denigrates the accommodations they’ve created for themselves on the edges of society.


I understand the overwhelming need to do something about the problem with the unhoused. Making their existence fundamentally illegal isn’t going to solve anything.

My only guess is they hope to drive people away and make them someone else’s problem.


I only know a bit of the story. I don’t think Ernest has done anything wrong, per se, but I don’t think he was prepared for the Reddit migration. He put in a ton of time and work and seems to have gotten burned out. It’s still missing some pretty basic features.

For instance, I know kbin doesn’t have api support, so apps like Artemis are unable to plug in and use it effectively. It sounds like mbin is already further along on that front.

I think the original vision of kbin sounds really cool. It’s basically a tighter integration with Mastadon while maintaining a more reddit-like feel and foundation.

I’ll be curious to see where it goes in the future and wish all the developers well. For now, it looks like mbin is the path forward.


I’m very excited for mbin. I hope it continues to gain traction. I’d love to see it get support with Artemis, the iOS app.


I can’t see the message due to the blackout. Any chance it could be copied here?
