How does kbin deal with bigots? (kbin.social)

This user runs this magazine which is entirely dedicated to transphobia under the guise of anti-misogyny (usual TERF bullshit).

They came to spread hate on my magazine the first trans supportive post I made, and looks from my "most active users" that they never stopped despite being banned.

Them ghost commenting on my stuff doesn't bother me as long as others don't see it, but this person is clearly dedicated to the sole purpose of spreading anti trans hate, and im wondering why they're still allowed a place on this platform? I don't doubt they've been reported multiple times.

I get "block people you don't like and move on", which I generally do, but this is several levels beyond that, it isn't a personal disagreement, it's outright and intentional spreading of bigotry which I don't believe has a place here.

So how do kbin deal with issues like this?

It gives me a little hope when I see that those posts are universally reduced.

But yeah, this is important to me when picking a platform to use and support. I understand there is always going to be some bigotry on general-purpose instances, but there is a line that gets crossed when it's just hateful strawmen.
