Is it just Kbin, or does every fediverse service have the issue of being totally swarmed with bots advertising illegal pharmaceuticals? Is this just the result of limited moderation? (kbin.social)

I haven't been on kbin, but I personally haven't had that issue on Lemmy.

It’s just Kbin and I hate it 🙂 Kbin has 10x more spam than Lemmy due to poor moderation.

I've heard kbin.social is having issues since the creator has needed to step away due to personal reasons. It might be best to find an mbin instance to migrate to.

@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social It's a Kbin.social issue, signups are a bit too open and moderation cannot keep up. :/

I haven't seen it on any of the instances I hang out on.

I think it's one particular community on Kbin. I know that if that kind of stuff came into the community that I moderate, it would not last very long because I would murder it.
