No mods listed and the place is getting overrun by drug spam. Is there anyone there?

Blaming spambots is one thing, but whoever set up this community should lock it if they're not going to mod it because there are loads of spam messages here that haven't been dealt with in days. It's a pretty bad look. I'm unsubscribing but I also want to add shame on whoever set this up and abandoned it because it reflects poorly on the fediverse.

Is not really abandoned, the owner of this community is also the creator of Kbin. He is still working on developing kbin so there's not enough time for moderation

OK, then he should lock it, it's spamming my feed, maybe I should move to something defederated with Kbin. No moderation is dangerous.

Also I've discovered there has already been this request:

https://kbin.social/m/science/t/432479

This user @[email protected] has logged in since then and posted on the platform, (therefore is not an inactive user) but has ignored both the moderation requests and the spam here. Again, I understand the limitations of one person, but a community can't operate under those circumstances.
