Is it just Kbin, or does every fediverse service have the issue of being totally swarmed with bots advertising illegal pharmaceuticals? Is this just the result of limited moderation?
Kbin seems more affected than others from what I can see in reports but it exists on other instances too.
It is a moderation issue in the sense that it is too easy for these bots to sign up. Individual instances could improve this by requiring an application for example.
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social It’s a Kbin.social issue, signups are a bit too open and moderation cannot keep up. :/
I haven’t seen it on any of the instances I hang out on.
It’s just Kbin and I hate it 🙂 Kbin has 10x more spam than Lemmy due to poor moderation.
I’ve heard kbin.social is having issues since the creator has needed to step away due to personal reasons. It might be best to find an mbin instance to migrate to.
I think it’s one particular community on Kbin. I know that if that kind of stuff came into the community that I moderate, it would not last very long because I would murder it.
