    @[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.



  • @[email protected] a few people in this thread have mentioned using Kbin or Mbin as something of an RSS curration tool. I’d like to learn more about that.

    The Drupal community maintains an aggregate of feeds from 200+ sources with posts about the CMS. In the last year or so, the quality of the content is noticeably worse. Some community members are blaming Ai generated content…

    Chat GPT, write a 1000 word blog post about Agile that mentions Drupal

    I think the problem has more to do with how Google rewards “fresh” content that repeats keywords with higher page rank than a better written article posted 2 years earlier.

    Regardless of the cause, a small group already running drupal.community for Mastodon has been discussing using up voting as a way to let the community curate the feed.

    Would love any advice or examples on using Kbin or Mbin to empower a small community to curate RSS content.
