Abandoned large magazines are being bombarded with spam and admins are nowhere to be seen it seems. Hundreds of spam bot posts have not been deleted for months, see /infosec /internet /opensource /science, etc. and there are some posts about admins not responding to reports. So whats happening here?

I see that non-admins are banning spammers from their communities in mod log but thats not an instance wide ban

are any other instances even federating with kbin after this barrage of unmoderated spam?

      Federation is way behind – like 5~6 hours behind, I think.

        Someone said mbin above so I found this instance: https://fedia.io/

        Is this where we have to go now?

        I kinda feel bad as Ernest did well in a tough situation, but this clearly needs to be handled by a larger team now.

        It’s increasing. It’s up to about 12 hours. I’ve officially migrated off of kbin for now. I’m sure it’s started to throw errors to other instances. Last time it did that we got temporarily defederated.
