are these periodic infuxes of bots (first porn, and now pharmaceuticals) a kbin-specific problem, or a wider fediverse issue? (kbin.social)

and is there anything we, kbin, or the wider fediverse can do to combat them?

I realise they're probably solely an issue to users like me, who frequently browse all and by newest, because of the relative dearth of content here compared to reddit, so the verdict might so not be no further action is needed. and admittedly, it's not hard to just scroll past their posts.

It's an internet issue, tbh

Exactly this.

And in fairness, when a magazine has active mods, it seems to be dealt with quickly. The problem is for some older magazines where the mod isn't so active - and we have a set of magazines dedicated to kbin itself and run by ernest, so one can imagine how tough that is to balance the mod responsibilities there with all the other things ernest has to handle.
