    It’s not a matter of getting it “under control”. The trolls specifically create accounts with us to get us defederated, including verifying email and answering approval questions.

    The thing that is meant to stop them (rate limiting) doesn’t work.

    In short there is nothing we can do to get it under control short of blocking them when they slip through the cracks.

    If that’s not good enough and you still want to defederate, well, that was their goal…

        The rest of the lemmyverse has put up with kbins spam problem for months. You’ll handle a few days from us

          Lately, I’ve implemented some restrictions that should eliminate or significantly reduce the issue of outgoing spam from kbin.social. I apologize for any inconvenience and really appreciate your patience. I’m confident that both the Lemmy and kbin tools will be adjusted over time, and until then, we all need to take a deep breath and overlook certain things. Good luck with that.

            Despite the teething problems, you’re doing a great job with kbin. In my mind, it’s got more potential than lemmy does!

            Your initial message suggested “it’s time to defederate”. It definitely came across as you being unwilling to discuss “viable solutions” and wanting to jump straight to the nuclear option. As the OP mentioned, getting Blahaj defederated is probably the ultimate goal of this user, and user’s like them. I think you got a pretty reasonable response, all things considered. You don’t get to dial the heat up to 11 and then get upset when people respond in kind.
