A lot of the larger abandoned magazines are just spam pools now. I donβt see their posts in my feed, but I donβt like that the two sidesbars of random posts and threads are now just spam advertising sidebars. I triedblocking the magazines, but doesnβt that prevent the posts from showing in those sidebars.
Now donβt get me wrong, I love it when m/infosec advertises voodoo curses and revenge spells, but after the first time the joke wears thin, you know?
I just saw another one in random(@kbin.social), so I jumped in and scrolled back; there were only a couple in the past two days, but three days ago there was a series of several posts in a row (6? 8? Something like that).
I an not subscribed to any kbin magazines, so I donβt see them in my curated feed; they mostly show up in the uncurated βWorld.β
FWIW; you expressed curiosity, so I followed up with an example.
