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.

i hope he's ok

He did update Lemmy to 0.18.4 a few weeks back, so he is around but it's been the end of the summer holidays and that is a pretty hectic time.

However, with only one Admin it's enough to make one a little nervous.

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.

The Kbin issue: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/570

It affects Mbin instances, too: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/248

We're monitoring the situation. It's been quite quiet from kbin.social for a while. If/when it kicks off we'll examine our options and we have more tools available than we previously did.
