Kbin /m/fediverse is over 90% spam (kbin.social)

Looking at the front page of this forum and many others, leads me to conclude that kbin has a ridiculous spam problem.

As of this posting 23 out of 25 of the posts on /m/fediverse are spam. Reporting doesn't seem to do any good. Oftentimes I try to report, and after trying to submit I get the red message - this has already been reported. (Unspoken subtext: "... and nothing has been done about it.")

So, kbin: No moderation, letting spammers run free. I really love the Fediverse, but there needs to be closed signups (by human approval) on accounts, with maybe a waiting period on posting. Also, I would like a way to ignore content from accounts that have X ratio of moderation score or Y amount of deleted content.

As it stands now, kbin is not a useful source of link aggregation, with less than 10% signal to noise ratio.

I left several months ago due to the spam. Got that old Reddit itch so came back. Looks bleak.

Have you tried Lemmy, or Mbin instead of Kbin?
