Ive spent the last week in shock at the lack of moderation because magazines and federated stuff is only moderated by @ernest who I know is busy with development. But the magazines that are on kbin.social and were setup as "Template" magazines are getting trashed either with spam/porn or toxic comments that were reported long before they were removed. just today tech, open-source has porn on it .

Like I said I get you are busy so maybe delegate it to some people that can look after the place ? Whilst you work on kbin. I look after the magazines I run and I also run a mastodon instance. Speaking Of im also looking forward to IP banning or being able to report persistent ban evaders.

I like so many things about kbin, but definitely don't need another unmoderated spammy site to visit. I check back every few weeks, and nothing seems to improve.

Given the apparent inability to implement blocking, I'm not terribly hopeful.

There's reason to be hopeful now. Ernest has posted an update about instance moderators who will be able to moderate mags that are either admin owned (and so otherwise wouldn't have other moderators to moderate them) or for those mags which are abandoned.
