A lot of my front page is full of kbin magazines that are inundated with spam. As we are all acutely aware, moderation actions on kbin are not replicated across the fediverse, causing lingering spam needing to be cleaned up by other instance moderators and admins.

I would just eliminate interactivity until kbin pushes an update that fixes the federation moderation issue, because 80% of the kbin content I see these days is just spam.

    It’s just a temporary measure until they get their shit together, it’s not like we’re defederating forever.

    I do block and report offenders but the main thing is that I shouldn’t have to. This is a platform problem on kbin’s end, and it shouldn’t be up to .ca admins to clean up the shit of kbin itself.

      It seems as soon as I block spammy kbin accounts it’s just a matter of hours until the same spammers are spamming the same bullshit under a different similarly named account.
