Iirc, in one of his last public appearances before abandoning Kbin was commenting he had health issues.

Just noticed he has a blog where he occasionally posts, latest post being from September, and in the “about me” section, he also mentions about having to drop Kbin.

Going by his posts and his repositories, he doesn’t seem involved with ActivityPub anymore, at least in a public manner. But sharing in case someone worried about the person.

    I hope he’s doing well. Thanks to the code he started, I’m on the Fediverse in the first place.

    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.

    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.
