Literally just came from a thread about a Newsweek article where some blahaj account carpet bombed everything with porn spam. It’s time to defederate. This is getting ridiculous. If the Admins over there can’t get it under control then we simply shouldn’t deal with it.
It’s not a matter of getting it “under control”. The trolls specifically create accounts with us to get us defederated, including verifying email and answering approval questions.
The thing that is meant to stop them (rate limiting) doesn’t work.
In short there is nothing we can do to get it under control short of blocking them when they slip through the cracks.
If that’s not good enough and you still want to defederate, well, that was their goal…
I’m sorry that that is their goal, and I’m sorry you don’t have the tools you need. Regardless, I’m not sure how best to handle it at this point. It’s getting pretty irritating.
Lately, I've implemented some restrictions that should eliminate or significantly reduce the issue of outgoing spam from kbin.social. I apologize for any inconvenience and really appreciate your patience. I'm confident that both the Lemmy and kbin tools will be adjusted over time, and until then, we all need to take a deep breath and overlook certain things. Good luck with that.
