Looking at the front page of this forum and many others, leads me to conclude that kbin has a ridiculous spam problem.

As of this posting 23 out of 25 of the posts on /m/fediverse are spam. Reporting doesn’t seem to do any good. Oftentimes I try to report, and after trying to submit I get the red message - this has already been reported. (Unspoken subtext: “… and nothing has been done about it.”)

So, kbin: No moderation, letting spammers run free. I really love the Fediverse, but there needs to be closed signups (by human approval) on accounts, with maybe a waiting period on posting. Also, I would like a way to ignore content from accounts that have X ratio of moderation score or Y amount of deleted content.

As it stands now, kbin is not a useful source of link aggregation, with less than 10% signal to noise ratio.

    Agreed. My block list is unbelievable. As I’ve said in previous comments about this kind of thing: communication is key.
    We’re getting zero communication and, if we so wanted to leave, can’t even delete our own accounts on the way out.

    The guy that manages Kbin has been having personal issues and stepped away from the fediverse so yeah Kbin is kind of in limbo at the moment and indeed not well moderated. There’s mods but there’s just so much they can do. The software doesn’t federate the deletions so even if they’re gone on Kbin, they remain everywhere else.
