I know that many people don’t like their defederation decision but I think they did it in good faith. And they did state they want to refederate with the two instances once the mod tools are in place.

For kbin, they did mention the reasoning behind.

To be clear there are problematic users on nearly every instance. I’ve had to moderate quite a few kbin users, but it’s not standing out from the pack as a particularly problematic place as of this moment.

As for lemmy.ml, I have a stupid theory that since the signup is closed, those spammers cannot get accounts over there.

Yes it is. The top 20 fastest growing instances on https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse could be suffering from bot signup. Bit of a bummer.

Could it be because r/ModCoord recommended moving to kbin, lemmy etc.?

I don’t think people will stop posting general topics here, maybe you guys have to find another way.

Maybe you could get in touch with @ruud@lemmy.world directly?

Fortunately, @ruud made a comment https://beehaw.org/comment/298646. They should be working together soon.

Malicious compliance from both the mods and the users! I dust off my account to upvote it.

Translation using ChatGPT: Confused? No…rather, it’s a mini challenge to discover new exponential possibilities. Simple.

From https://www.redditinc.com/, they say there are 100k+ active subreddits. Maybe most of the existing ones are not active?

Could you provide the source for “The API/3PA changes affect like 5-10% of users”？
