I moved from kbin over to Lemmy when kbin was having some uptime issues a few months back. But I can confirm wholeheartedly that Ernest is a super genuine and nice guy, at least as far as any content he's ever posted to the internet.
Oh, totally, no disagreement. When I said "ordinary", I wasn't trying to ding him -- he seems to be a great guy and all. I just mean that he isn't going around doing controversial political advocacy in conjunction with his project.
I initially used kbin, hopped over to lemmy when it had a couple days where kbin.social was having some issues, then hopped back when the problematic 0.19.x lemmy releases caused a lot of problems on lemmy.today, and am currently back on lemmy.today.
Oh yeah chief, I was agreeing with you. Didn't mean to put you on the defensive. Ernest is overwhelmingly "just some dude" who happens to be very pleasant to interact with and is building one of my favorite projects on the internet. It's a stark contrast to some others I could name. I wasn't implying calling him ordinary was some insult, I was just adding my voice to the chorus.
