I just found a handful of bots that are spamming lemmy and kbin communities for hours but this place here does not seem to do anything against it.

The only posts in the last 18 hrs seem to be bot posts.

    Even if the mods on kbin take action, those mod actions don’t federate to Lemmy, and the spam just piles up. I know several instance admins, including myself, who are getting fed up with it and discussing defederation.

    Which sucks because most kbin users are fine, but the spam cleanup is a lot of work.

      Oof. That sucks. Thanks for mentioning it. Maybe I can start helping on the project at some point. I really want to but I‘m a bit busy atm.

      Yeah…I’ve personally wondered if it might be better to defederate because I’ve noticed most of the spam posts I see tend to come from one specific Kbin instance. If we defederate from it, that reduces that workload, but it would be unfortunate as there is a good amount of content there too.

      Note I’m not the only admin on my instance and these are only my personal thoughts. Not an impending action or anything like that. Mentioning in case anyone from our instance wonders.
