Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?

    I’d read somewhere that there’s some sort of Linux programming reference in the name, but I don’t know anything about Linux so I can’t quite remember. Don’t quote me on that, though

      Linux has directories (folders) that contain programs. The two major conventions are /bin (short for binary which is another name for an executable program) and sbin (system/super user binaries).

      Kbin seems like a play off of that, don’t know what the k implies tho.
