This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I personally don't like KBin's UI. It's an immediate turn-off for me. Text too small, vote buttons look weird. Also I just loaded the homepage and the top posts are "🤔🤔🤔", "ich🚗iel", "Every time I leave or enter the house", and a generic meme.
