Ernest Appreciation Post (kbin.social)

Kbin has seen a staggering amount of growth in the past few weeks, and with it a bunch of discussion about issues and bugs.

Constructive criticism will help make kbin even greater, but i wanted to take some time to appreciate how great of an app it has been to use these past few weeks, and to the sole developer @ernest for all the long hours put in to keep things running smoothly.

Keep up the great work!

Dropped my nickel in the tin. Hopefully Ernest will bank this rush for future costs.

Funny how it's easy to donate to a brilliantly run instance like this, but I wouldn't give spez a penny if he begged for it.

Hopefully more people contribute, and on a regular basis. Even if everyone on average double the default amount, it's only like $7500 so far, which isn't that much in the scheme of things.

I went to donate but didn't want to give my credit card number to a random website. I'd feel way better about it if there was a PayPal option.

@zalack You may want to look into "disposable" credit card number services that some institutions offer. Eg, see https://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/5-reputable-disposable-credit-card-number-services/

It supports ApplePay if that’s any use

I'd give Spez some pennies, but I'd make sure they have lots of sealer on them. For old time's sake.

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah totally. On the other hand it’s be fun to give spez some pennies, one at a time at high velocity like

Thanks, I've been looking for that all day. It's a measure of the man that it's so hard to find!
