Hello everyone,
Recently we have been dealing with a lot of spam from the kbin.social communities. There is a bug in kbin where moderation tasks are not federated to other instances. That means even if a moderator over at kbin removes a post, it will still be visible on Lemmy instances and it’s up to the instance admins to clean it up.
There have been talks about this in the Lemmy admin channels with some instances considering defederating from kbin.social - and others who have already made that step.
We don’t want to defederate, because we know this would impact the kbin community greatly - but we have to do something. That’s why we have currently removed most of the kbin communities from Lemmy World, making them unavailable to our users. But the kbin users can still view and interact with our communities and users.
This means that those spam-accounts will stil be able to post in our communities too, but at least it makes the task of moderation already a little bit lighter on our team. But it was either this or defederation. The moderation tools on kbin are in an even worse state then Lemmy’s.
We will keep monitoring the situation and will keep you up to date should anything change.
We hope you understand and support our decision.
The Lemmy World team
It’s interesting how one entity is being described as both pro-fascist and pro-LGBT. What an oxymoron.
Also, what an irony you call them hypocrites whilst being one yourself, because:
Learn what fascism actually means
Stop putting your hand in other people’s pants
Realise that step 2 is exactly what fascists are known for doing
Maybe then you’ll stop being one.
Ukraine literally uses fascist an nazi symbols and according to CNN the are fascists, so … whatever makes you happy hypocrite.
Can’t believe I’m responding to a troll but Russia is a bit behind the times Ukraine is no longer run by Hitler and the Nazis.
Times has changed it is no longer 1940. Back in 1940 it’s true there were Nazis in Ukraine. I repeat back in 1940.
There are Nazis but they’re in the United States not Ukraine.
Can’t believe I’m responding to a dumb troll but Ukraine uses enriched uranium ammo banned by every civilized country, because it is used by terrorists only, that alone makes it evil.
