kbin.social is being overrun with spammers. Can we disable registrations on this instance so they can’t keep creating new accounts? Every day I log on, I have to spend the first 20-30 minutes, reporting and blocking a bunch of new accounts.

Here are some that were just created today:

      Ernest hasn’t abandoned kbin this time, he did post an update last week.

      Today, I’m going for a minor procedure at the hospital, and I won’t be available for the next 2-4 days. When I return, I’ll push all the corrections and fixes I’ve been working on and present plans for the near future.

      Him not being back yet probably means the hospital procedure didn’t go as smoothly as expected, but he’s not gone on purpose.

        The CSAM posts from 4 days ago are still on kbin.social. They have been reported, but no action taken.

          That’s partly a fault of not enough kbin users stepping up to moderate magazines.

            It seems like having more admins here would be greatly beneficial in combatting that problem. Is Ernest open to having additional admins? AFAIK he is the only one, and he’s cleary biting off more than he can chew.

      So you went and thought: “Let’s take this chance to make an unverified claim and advertise this other instances in a single post!”
      but it was a shitty move, let me tell you.

          Ernest has said in the update I mentioned in my other comment that

          When I return, I’ll push all the corrections and fixes I’ve been working on

          This means he has made local commits over those 2 months that simply haven’t been pushed yet.

          Also, there is in fact a commit made 4 days ago. Though not from ernest.
