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.
I’ll admit it’s really tempting, I’ve been annoyed by it too.
I’m inclined to avoid defederation at this point though and hold out for a fix. I’m not keen on fracturing our community if we don’t absolutely need to.
So, Reddthat actually just disconnected the communities that were the most likely to be spammed, they are as follows:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
I have actually also only seen spam from these sources so that might be an interim solution. I would also personally add [email protected] as well.
