While kbin.social’s site mentioned that they were migrating to a new provider, and as a result, the site might be experiencing some issues, kbin.social has been serving up a similar HTTP 50x errors, and that migration message for well over a month, if not more.
What happened?
My apologies, I got threads confused and you are correct that there was no such expectation as you were replying to the top-level comment.
You are also right on your other point - those mbin links are very useful!
