I have not noticed many spammers here on kbin. But, when I do, the way I handle it is:
- Reduce/Report.
- Do I see the same user posting spam, block user.
- Does it seem to come from the same domain, block domain.

Hey, I addressed this in my previous post. I'm dealing with the issue, but it will take a bit more time. Please have a little more patience.

i'd also noticed this but i'm honestly not sure what can be done. i'd just unsubscribed since i figured this place was fully taken over.
Thanks for confirming. I‘m also unsubbing from all kbin communities since this stuff is still going.
I think you see something different on tech@kbin.social than what kbin users see on tech@kbin.social.
I go to https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/tech@kbin.social?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New, sorted by newest, and I see a lot of "ImNotBobDylan" clones spamming garbage links.
I go to https://kbin.social/m/tech/newest and I don't see any BobDylans.
I go to https://discuss.tchncs.de/u/ImNotBobDylan1@kbin.social and I see 3 spam posts.
I go to https://kbin.social/u/ImNotBobDylan1 and I see a 404 page. That user does not exist at kbin.social.
So, whatever is happening, I'm not sure kbin is the source of the problem. If it was, certainly we would see this user as well, right? I mean, it would at least explain why nobody is acting here... we can't physically see the problem lol.
