I ran across that magazine recently and every post is transphobic af. Does that fit within kbin.social's code of conduct?
You're viewing a single thread.
Ugh, and 10A somehow also hasn't been banned yet (and a quick check to his profile shows that he isn't just still making bad-faith arguments about "free speech" but is also still spreading xenophobia, fake news about the last election, and so on).
I'm out. Anyone know of a kbin (not lemmy) instance with reasonably good moderation?
Our main problem is that the kbin software doesn't yet support having multiple admins on an instance. Ernest isn't really able to handle both improving the code and doing instance-wide moderation, so the latter is neglected.
Your best bet for now would be a smaller instance with an active admin, though the overall problem will persist until the right features get added to the software.
This makes me wonder if adding some temporary restrictions to creating magazines here (based on account age or activity?) would be worth it to potentially help slow down ones like this being made (and to help slow down magazine squatting?).
All accounts are relatively young. Kbin has only been live for a few months.
Yeah I've only had this account for a few weeks. It just feels like brand new users have too much freedom I guess.
He actually downvoted this thread. lol
And my comment. In a private window I can see that he replied to my comment as well, despite the fact that I blocked him, so blocks are still not working properly apparently.
They don't. I had to figure that out with another big kbin troll.
There are not a lot of Kbin instances yet, so it's hard to say at a glance whether an instance has actually good moderation or if it just doesn't have enough users to cause trouble to begin with.
Edit: I found a more expansive list of instances and fedi196.gay seems like a good one
IIRC don't think there's even way to export data if you want to move instances either . Hope it all gets resolved sooner than later
Indeed. It's easy enough to back up your posts/threads/comments with "save page as" on each page of your profile, but you can't automatically transfer your followers, following, subscriptions, or moderated in a migration. You'd have to ask to be re-added as a moderator, have to contact your followers individually, have to add your subscriptions and following one by one to your new account... Has anybody made any sort of third-party tool to make migration easier?
Seems like you can’t even moderate a magazine from another instance 😔
You can't moderate from another Kbin instance?!
Moderation isn't federated, afaik. I don't think it's federated on any type of Fediverse software.
You can but it basically doesn’t federate back to source instance :|
Would be amazing to see the ability to designate account aliasing or cross-instance moderation so trusted admins / mods could be added to remote instances to assist.
BeeHaw looked promising up until a few days ago when this happened:

and the response from the other admins was a lack luster too.

Like how hard would it be to say that the admin's behavior was unacceptable and it will be discussed internally. It seems clear to me (and most other posters there) that it was a one sided issue.
I'm not really sure where is good. It was nice to see some non-admins speaking up about it, but seeing the other admins circling the wagons when one of them is clearly in the wrong makes me weary of doing any more than lurking. 10A wouldn't last 5 minutes there, but you have to worry about being berated if you're not as far left as the admins even if you're respectful.
