Kbin, literally haven't seen any spam, seen lots about how the fediverse Admins are taking care of it.

So, thank you mods and admins.

@[email protected] This has not been my experience at all. There was/is a lot of spam lingering on KBin long after it was removed from the federated source. I don't know if that's an issue with the removal being done in an unfederated way (bulk deletes at the db level), a sync issue cause by the recent kbin.social outages or just a general federation bug.

My kbin.social account has been @'ed in hundreds of comments and some of the most popular Kbin magazine where Earnest remains the sole moderator were flooded with spam.

Even this morning I tried reporting spam from a kbin.social account only to be told it had already been report... and yet 16 hours later the bot is still posting with this account.

I'm glad you've found kbin.social usable through all this, but the spam is tbere.
