So what can we do to combat this Spam posting as a community? Anyone have any ideas?

    Admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com here and yeah i can confirm it’s from instances with open registration. Also most of them are smaller instances that aren’t that well maintained and will probably feel the consequence by being blocked by other instances…

    And kbin.social 🤦

        (edit: might not be sole) Dev/moderator doesnt want a team but has some health issues presumably, so definitely can’t manage it themselves. This is just the aftermath of a couple months of that

        No offense to our brothers and sisters in the fediverse, but kbin.social surely has a lot of spam coming out… it’s a very popular instance and that attracts a lot of dickheads.

          That sucks to hear. Back when I migrated to the Fediverse, I chose Kbin just simply because the interface suited me better. Frustrating when aholes ruin a good thing.
