Are TERF-centric magazines allowed on this insurance? (kbin.social)

I ran across that magazine recently and every post is transphobic af. Does that fit within kbin.social's code of conduct?

Our main problem is that the kbin software doesn't yet support having multiple admins on an instance. Ernest isn't really able to handle both improving the code and doing instance-wide moderation, so the latter is neglected.

Your best bet for now would be a smaller instance with an active admin, though the overall problem will persist until the right features get added to the software.

This makes me wonder if adding some temporary restrictions to creating magazines here (based on account age or activity?) would be worth it to potentially help slow down ones like this being made (and to help slow down magazine squatting?).

All accounts are relatively young. Kbin has only been live for a few months.

Yeah I've only had this account for a few weeks. It just feels like brand new users have too much freedom I guess.
