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

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.

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

I followed up with a bug report.

I don't think this Lemmy thing is gonna make it tbh. Too many small communities all hoping to be the main hub for types of content, not enough moderation for the amount of fucking around that can happen, not to mention the constant armies of poorly informed morons trying to misinformation the general public.

Dead internet theory was right.

It can happen. With the protocol as it is, I agree Lemmy is going to remain too fragmented and might wither.

If we changed the protocol so multiple communities could become siblings (post to one, post to all), it might improve.
