I gave up on kbin almost immediately as I could not figure out how to subscribe to communities besides using their search, which doesn’t show all communities. And even when subscribing to communities I could not figure out how to make the feed show my subscriptions rather than whatever the default is.

Can’t tell if it’s bad UX or missing functionality.

Edit:

Found out that if you turn on the top bar then there's a link to your subscription feed. No idea how you get here without the opt-in top bar though..

I guess. I feel like the supposed threats I can think of are illogical enough to dismiss the accusation outright.

"Misused". Gotta love these sites hoarding the content that was produced by its users.

I can't wait till all these services are dead and decentralized ones have taken their place. Realize that's by no means a guarantee, but I can hope damnit..

Yeah but that would be a pretty empty threat as Reddit is fully empowered to simply block api access.

Yeah I’ve heard the call. My point was that whether or not it’s a threat should be a red herring as there is nothing he could reasonably threaten with. To act all offended over at best an empty threat is telling.
