I do feel more than a little sympathy for ernest (npub16u5…wn77).

In January he decided to try to build an ActivityPub based messageboard system.

A month ago he decided the code was stable enough that he could release the first alpha version, and stood up https://kbin.social to demonstrate it.

It attracted quite a few users per day and proved that it might just be an exciting new entry into the Fediverse.

And then Reddit's admins did their thing, and suddenly thousands, millions, tens of millions of users are looking for a new home. And although a few other brave souls have also created kbin instances in the last few days, there's simply not enough capacity to even begin to cope with all the demand.
