Hello everyone,

Recently we have been dealing with a lot of spam from the kbin.social communities. There is a bug in kbin where moderation tasks are not federated to other instances. That means even if a moderator over at kbin removes a post, it will still be visible on Lemmy instances and it’s up to the instance admins to clean it up.

There have been talks about this in the Lemmy admin channels with some instances considering defederating from kbin.social - and others who have already made that step.

We don’t want to defederate, because we know this would impact the kbin community greatly - but we have to do something. That’s why we have currently removed most of the kbin communities from Lemmy World, making them unavailable to our users. But the kbin users can still view and interact with our communities and users.

This means that those spam-accounts will stil be able to post in our communities too, but at least it makes the task of moderation already a little bit lighter on our team. But it was either this or defederation. The moderation tools on kbin are in an even worse state then Lemmy’s.

We will keep monitoring the situation and will keep you up to date should anything change.

We hope you understand and support our decision.

The Lemmy World team

    kbin.social seems to have gone too pro-fasicts, pro-Ukraine, pro-LGBT. I do not like hypocrites. It turns out to be just like reddit.

    EDIT: It seems that this platform has gone full pro-fascist, pro-Ukraine, pro-pedophile, pro-war, just ban me, so I can get over it.

      It’s interesting how one entity is being described as both pro-fascist and pro-LGBT. What an oxymoron.

      Also, what an irony you call them hypocrites whilst being one yourself, because:

      1. Learn what fascism actually means

      2. Stop putting your hand in other people’s pants

      3. Realise that step 2 is exactly what fascists are known for doing

      Maybe then you’ll stop being one.

          Can’t believe I’m responding to a troll but Russia is a bit behind the times Ukraine is no longer run by Hitler and the Nazis.

          Times has changed it is no longer 1940. Back in 1940 it’s true there were Nazis in Ukraine. I repeat back in 1940.

          There are Nazis but they’re in the United States not Ukraine.

            Can’t believe I’m responding to a dumb troll but Ukraine uses enriched uranium ammo banned by every civilized country, because it is used by terrorists only, that alone makes it evil.

      The attack on Ukraine was literally a fascist imperialist war of aggression like Poland in WWII. Putin is the fascist and the fascists are all supporting the Kremlin.

        There was no attack, it is a defensive operation allowed by treaty signed beforehand to denazify Ukraine, but you are obviously one of those people, who do not care, that Russian kids were killed for 8 years, which was acknowledged by every country in the world , even by UNICEF, because Russians are not human, just like jews were not in WW2, right, hypocrite.

          Defensive operations, as you are aware Ivan, do not involve sending troops to another country to attack them. Russia agreed in a 1995 treaty to never attack Ukraine. When Putin kidnapped thousands of Ukraine kids, did he sell them to pedophiles to finance his war? Why are Russians meekly allowing butcher Putin to shit all over their country? All Russians ever do is eat Putin’s shit over and over.

          WAR IS PEACE. OFFENSE IS DEFENSE.

      Or maybe grow up and take charge of your own life instead of acting like a dick and waiting to see if anyone scrambles to eject you, lol.

        I will, I will celebrate every dead American, Ukraine or NATO soldier, I kill during my duty, because killing evil is considered heroic.

          How can you complain about Lemmy.world being pro war and then say this statement? Please seek therapy.

      Yes, imagine that, as a gay, I do not like fascists and pedophiles and I do not care how many dislikes I get for it, it is just WRONG!
