Currently pretty much every report I have to take care of is from kbin.social so I’ve decided I’ll be defederating until it gets better.

The main pain point is that their moderation actions don’t federate, meaning that if they ban a user, remove a post or take any moderator action, our instance doesn’t get the memo and still happily shows the content. This is unlike between Lemmy instances where if a moderator of a community removes a post, it’s removed for all federated instances. Or if an admin bans a user, it’s banned for all instances.

So as much as I don’t like it, it’s getting tiring and we will be defederating until Kbin has support for federating moderation actions and until the situation with kbin.social improves.

I’ll leave this post pinned for 2 days before defederating if you want to discuss, but unless someone wants to volunteer to remove the kbin.social spam themselves, I’ll be defederating because I don’t want to do that anymore.
