There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren't being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.

EDIT: I personally don't care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don't know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.

Defederate, massively

Beehaw has more than 380 instances blocked. I don't think that kbin blocks anything, where can we see the list?

edit: I see a lot of downvote. You DO understand that some instances are sharing lolita stuff and the police can close the servers of Ernest depending on what is federated? Right?

I mean you can do it yourself. I turned federation status off for me to get a feel for kbin, interact here and see whats on here. If I get bored I might turn it back on and see what's happening in other places.

This is good imo. Let the user decide what they want to see.

How do you do that? I was looking for exactly that feature but can't find a "local list", which only shows kbin threads or something similar.

Click the little triangle in the top right corner just under the search button. There's an option to turn federation on or off.
