On the other hand, if people really wanted to contribute, there's plenty of open issues on Codeberg that are unadressed. I agree that it would be better to announce plans in advance rather than surprise drop them, but I doubt there would be more contributions from the community.
Twitter has taught me that nowadays people are too adaptable, 90% of people will stick with Reddit no matter what they do.
Depends on what the purpose of the button is.
A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it'll transition to.
seeing "span" and other tags instead of the actual code block
If you're using Firefox or Kiwi, the Kbin Enhancement Suite userscript now has a fix for this. There's also a standalone version here.
Well, for the span tags, I haven't seen other tags being an issue. If you see a code block where the same issue occurs with other tags, tell me so I can update it.
If there is another Reddit exodus, for example, or if we get a surge due to the Threads thing, I feel like many will just turn back due to the UI alone.
I don't know if ernest's views changed since the last exodus, but iirc people joining the platform wasn't really his intention, it just happened. Kbin hasn't even had a proper full release yet, it's still beta software, so I don't think people bouncing off is that big an issue yet.
With the abandonment of Artemis (formerly kmoon), kbin is now only really usable by the mobile site.
That's the case for now, but app development is still happening with other projects:
Modern Bing is a lot more useful for me than modern Google.
Here's what I could find from ernest's devlog and the codeberg commit history:

Clearer wording for the direct link copy options
edit: New "open original url" option to directly open the url in a new tab rather than just copying the link
new: Optional Turbo mode, which changes the site so it has the speed of a single-page web application
For example, I finally learned how something works after months of trying to wrap my head around it. Didn’t end up using it for a few months more, and now I forgot it again. I’m back to square one, trying to relearn things I already learned.
If this is such a frequent problem, start writing down what you've learnt. Get a notetaking app (my personal choice is obsidian) and record any knowledge that took you work to acquire. Then next time you need it you can just check your notes and there it is, instead of having to put all that work into it again.

fully blocking ad blockers
One of those two has to be false, because I'm still not seeing any anti-adblocker measures on my end.
Not surprising, given they were the only ones serious about advertising. We got so many leaflets from them at work and home and I even saw them on Reddit, yet nothing at all on those distribution channels from any other parties. I've seen some billboards by others, but it feels like 80% of the ones I've seen were SVP.
I personally hate them and didn't vote for them, but I don't think it's surprising they have such a big following.
I got a response from them on Reddit:
We didn't know which platform would take off, and we were nervous that because Kbin and Lemmy are so similar one platform might shut down in some sort of consolidation down the road. Also when we made them, each had very serious drawbacks for our media (Lemmy needs a lot of clicking to access the media, while kbin turned any media that wasn't in a 3:4 aspect ratio into a funhouse mirror.) So each of us took a community and somewhere down the line we'll re-evaluate.
I usually try out a ton of shows, but also drop a lot of them as the season goes on.
I'll include a rating giving my current opinion to shows I'm watching, obviously subject to change.

Opposite way around. We can see him but he can't see us.
The reason you can't see him is because you're on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they're (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).
