I switched away because kbin seemed stuck and unresponsive to users and uncommunicative. Changes that were made seemed to be ones the Ernest wanted to and not addressing issues that people were feeling in some cases.
I am a software developer for a living and I can tell you that you can both have more people contributing and be secure. Most projects do not have bad actors who successfully poison things. When someone does, they get caught in the review process. If this is your concern, then prove that Ernest himself isn't a bad actor? I don't believe he is, but being one person in control would certainly make that easy.
I have now been banned from cat@lemmy.world :( I haven't attempted to post or comment today anywhere except now. I've only liked posts today, so that narrows down the actions required to trigger the problem. I liked 4 posts over the last 24 hours in that community.
Hope that helps someone narrow down replication steps for the problem.
I am definitely not qualified for instance level moderation, but may be for a magazine. Is that part of what you are looking for? I did put a request in for one a ways back, but perhaps am not qualified for that, either. It would be a good step i think. But I don't know. I can go thru the abandoned list again.
I asked Ernest 1 year ago about delegating and empower the software developers, but that didn't happen and will never happen. That was the reason to create Mbin.
I know your intention is good so do not take this post heavy,
This is not a solution as it doesn't remove the spam properly. You should not be able to read your own post this way, and your post isn't spam.
There is still annoying garbage visible. I really tried but it isn't hiding spam completely. And as soon as new spam appears like "rdfrdfffddd", what are we going to do? Fill uBlock with 1000s of filters?
True this is only a temporary fix so there is less spam until we get proper moderation.
I actually thought the post didn't work when I first posted it because it did not show up due to the filters.
Using these filters combined with blocking /m/internet didn't block all the spam but made it more tolerable for me.
The only other options that I can think of is it report spam or apply to be a moderator.
