  The best way to tell if php is the best language for something is simple. It isn’t :-p

  But at least it’s not perl running out of cgibin.

    Oh, interesting, I hadn't heard of this. I hope this fork is amicable? Ernest has struck me as being a reasonable dev from what I've seen of his public interactions, I'd hate to hear that there's drama afoot.

      Delivery is faster, they just released a new version this week. PR review is faster, which helps a lot.

      Fedia.io is running it

    Are they still calling communities “magazines”?

      I think so, that’s not that big of a deal, is it?

        I find the terminology of Kbin confusing and it’s one of the things putting me off it, personally. I don’t think referring to a shitposted meme as an “article in a magazine” makes a whole lot of sense, and from an onboarding perspective it seems more intuitive to work with familiar terms like “community” and “post”. Especially with the microblogging integration: if you want to make a thread somewhere you have to click “create article” because “create post” will have you make a microblog instead.
