As a Mbin user, appreciate him being in the right place at the right time, even if his coding wasn't fully "ready" for the sudden task and he couldn't continue the work himself. That he made it open source for others to take and run with made a huge difference. Glad he's doing okay.

Sounds like he’s made peace with its living on in forks as well. Nice to see he’s doing okay.
I hope he's doing well. Thanks to the code he started, I'm on the Fediverse in the first place.
Same
I wish him the best.
Thank you so much. Every so often he would cross my mind and its good to know hes alright. He did good work and the beauty of open source is you an let it go and what you did can continue.
I can't imagine how stressful it must have been to have a small hobby project you're devekoping for fun and then suddenly get the insane amount of traffic from the Reddit exodus over night without having been able to prepare for it at all. I was low key worried we killed him with stress.
Happy that's not the case.
Glad to hear it
So good to know! Thanks!
Vern, what's these dead minnows doin' on my pizza pie?
Thanks for sharing!
Oh, thank goodness! I always wondered what happened. I wish him the best!
