So you can manually put your laundry inside it, go to your bed and tell the machine to wash it like you didn't had to get up to put your laundry inside it.

Of course, that's a good reminder! But according to my dog's vet, it shouldn't be a problem if done cautious, not frequently, not going deep and with a gauze around your finger. She do it sometimes including to see if there's anything causing the itch by the color left on the gauze.

EDIT: I'm not a vet, so if I'm wrong, someone please correct me! Just saying this according to what my dog's vet said.

For sure guinea pigs would evolve into capybaras

Since you mentioned "forum days", I'm still wondering when did we decided we should get rid of those blinking gifs with our usernames we used as a signature for every post! I hate them, but I also miss them...

Oh, I tried to say that I can see and even follow this Threads account, so probably Kbin is still federated! Sorry if it wasn't clear

Well, if you're right, Kbin looks to not have defederated Threads

Is there any way for me to know if a Kbin instance also blocked Threads?

Oh, thanks for showing the other side! Like always, things are not just black and white.
I have never heard about Melroy before, but I was scared by the last comment. It's nice to hear that there are nice people working on this branch :)

That makes sense!

For my basic knowledge working side by side with a lot of devs, I totally agree with the way Ernest thinks. It's essential for a product that's growing up to have a solid core that will not need to be rewrote in the near future.

But also, as an user, I keep wishing we could see more features, like the API for mobile apps.

I mean, besides what Ernest and Melroy thinks that's the right way, there's also what the users need, what the users want and what the project needs to escalate (new features vs core rewriting). And probably there's not a right answer for that.

Honest question: what's the reason to make a fork instead of contributing do kbin itself?

Same here! Many years ago I paid for a lifetime subscription and I really don't regret it (but only because it was an one-time payment for life).
