Kbin.social down again? Are people moving to mbin instances (kbin.run, fedia.io)?

I'm not sure of the accuracy of the user count for kbin, because account deletion requests, at least for kbin.social, are not being processed.
I believe it, but I already did not trust those numbers for a different reason - e.g. I abandoned my account there six months ago to come to where I am at now, so technically I have an account and yet I've been there like 6 times since then and commented or interacted fewer than that.
Still, the total user count represents a "high mark" that it had once reached, and the Mbins collectively still seem far away from that. But good point, b/c how many accounts are e.g. alts or deleted from Mbin successfully but from Kbin that request gets ignored.
"Activity" would be a better measurement. Down below in some of the other replies we looked into that, and I think technically Kbin.Social is still fairly active, more so than the Mbins, but overall the Mbins are obviously in a healthier state with fewer of these insanely long (weeks-long) outages.
Btw, in my link above (for "sick"), Ernst mentioned that:
So it looks like things will change at Kbin.Social regardless of his health & life issues.
I hope things turn around.
I for one hope that he goes back to what he seemed to enjoy the most: writing the code. Let someone else handle the admin duties, which he mostly abandoned anyway. We would get the non-Lemmy codebase enhanced, while he would get the fun of chasing his passion:-).
Is that likely to be a large percentage?
The point is there are those who, like myself and others, who requested account deletions on kbin.social. And they have not been processed. Over a period of time those numbers add up. Then you have whole instances that moved (kbin.earth etc)
That doesn't wound like a very relevant point at all.
A relevant point would have been something that had a significant impact on the thing we were talking about, which is why I asked.
