@bedtimedrillsgt ;__;
Thank you.for providing this <3 im.sad to see.it go
@bedtimedrillsgt I had a feeling that this might happen. Just hours ago I've talked to someone about it. π
Thanks a lot for creating this space in the first place, I've really enjoyed being here!
Part of me is considering setting up and (co-)managing an instance like this in the future β¦ Would you mind telling us a bit more about the current infrastructure and the growth issues you're touching on in your post? (I'm an experienced dev and sysadmin myself, feel free to get technical.)



@bedtimedrillsgt sorry to see you go, kinky.business was my first kinky instance.
But also totally get when running things becomes basically a second job you are paying for
@bedtimedrillsgt hi! Is there anything I could do to help you stay online?
(I currently do some operations work with hachyderm & contribute to Mastodon)
13k accounts / 840 MAU doesn't seem particularly large that you should be facing scaling problems?
Would be happy to help out.
@bedtimedrillsgt thank you for everything!
If people are searching for a new home, you can check if https://gay-pirate-assassins.de would be fitting for you.
@bedtimedrillsgt Thank you so much for providing this nice instance. I had a good time here and you did a great job managing it, I never encountered any problems.
I have been a Patreon of kb for quite some time, but if I had known that we were not even covering your expenses, I really would have liked to help some more.
Best wishes to you!
@bedtimedrillsgt
Just got home from holidays and read the sad news.
I'm sorry to hear that we reached the point where kinky.business draws too much energy and money as a hobby project πΏ
I've always enjoyed it here and had so much fun on this great kinky instance. It'll be really hard to find a replacement.
Thanks for keeping us safe so we could stay filthy all that time. You've done a great job and should be proud of it π 
@bedtimedrillsgt And I thought 2025 could not possibly get any worse β¦
But first: Thank you so much for work! Thank you so much for providing this instance, where I met many kinky people.
It's such a shame to see it go, while I completely understand your motivation.
Again, thank you!
@bedtimedrillsgt first of all thank you. For everything.
Thoughts are hard to put together to really describe what Kb has meant to so many.
It wasn't the largest or most well known spot on the fediverse, but it was home.
I'm amazed at the wonderful people and personalities you have managed and built this community with. Wherever you go, you will be successful, I can only hope that you remember all of us here as flames to your banner.
Home. You built this. So for now and as long as you keep that spark alive. Thank you
