Block kbin.social (and other kbin) communities? (lemmy.world)

@tom@feddit.uk I am seeing a lot of spam from kbin.social and, digging into it, it looks like there's a bug in kbin so that moderation decisions don't federate properly.

L.W have already blocked their communities (rather than defederate them, as some instances have done) and it's only going to become a bigger issue - discussion of L.W's decision in the link.

edit: here are two examples: 1 and 2.

Please no :( I enjoy many kbin communities

It would only be a temporary measure until the bug is fixed. I follow plenty of kbin communities, which is why I am seeing so much spam.
