@ernest thank you for the update and everything. Its great to hear your personal matter is kinda sorted.
I already have the moderation of several magazines so I won't be able to contribute to that more, I think.
I am a little bit familiar with bug reporting, not in github tho. So I just created a github account and a codeberg to try and contribute. Of course I will have to spend time checking out the existing ones and familiarizing myself with the platforms. I say all this because if you or any of the active devs, have test cases or a specific area that you would like to check first or anything relevant, I would gladly do my best to help on demand.
I know your intention is good so do not take this post heavy,
This is not a solution as it doesn't remove the spam properly. You should not be able to read your own post this way, and your post isn't spam.
There is still annoying garbage visible. I really tried but it isn't hiding spam completely. And as soon as new spam appears like "rdfrdfffddd", what are we going to do? Fill uBlock with 1000s of filters?
True this is only a temporary fix so there is less spam until we get proper moderation.
I actually thought the post didn't work when I first posted it because it did not show up due to the filters.
Using these filters combined with blocking /m/internet didn't block all the spam but made it more tolerable for me.
The only other options that I can think of is it report spam or apply to be a moderator.
"This week, I also refreshed the project's code, and it seems like I'm slowly getting back on track regarding health matters."
I am glad you are getting better.
I will have to have a look into helping with moderation though I take it site moderation is at the instance level unless you mean for magazines?
Personally, the main thing I want is for all of the pissers and moaners to go away, so the rest of us can just enjoy this place in peace. And that'd take some of the pressure off of Ernest, which would be good for him and, in the long run, good for the instance. You can all move to mbin - it was pretty much built by and for concern trolls and drama llamas, so you should be right at home there.
Yeah - this place has its issues. That's the way it goes on what basically amounts to a hobbyist platform on a decentralized system. And it's part of why I have multiple accounts scattered around the threadiverse - when one is having problems, that likely just means I'll use it less until things settle down, which is fine. It's not like I'm paying for any of this.
I like this interface and I like Ernest. That's enough for me.
Nothing stops you from leaving. Just abandon the account and leave. In fact I'd think you want to change the password to something very long and leave the account so nobody else can take your username on this platform.
Could you give some examples of why it would be bad to have more community moderators, and maybe one or two extra admins? It seems like that would only strengthen Kbin. The moderators could fight the spam effectively, and the new admins could handle managing the busywork of the website while Ernest codes.
It seems like it would be an absolute win all around?
I didn't say anything at all about moderators or admins. My point is very narrow and specific - I want the concern trolls and drama llamas - the people who post threads like this one - to fuck off. I'm tired of them pissing and moaning because this new, free, making-it-up-as-we-go-along forum doesn't live up to their expectations. Fuck 'em. Ernest doesn't owe them anything and if they're so unhappy, all they have to do is get the fuck out, then they won't have to deal with the place and the rest of us won't have to deal with them.

That's what everyone here is discussing, that's what the OP of this thread is talking about. You're calling people who are correctly pointing out that Kbin needs more mods and admins, with the stated goal of REDUCING Ernest's administrative burdens and stress, Drama llamas and trolls, and telling them to fuck off.
I asked Ernest 1 year ago about delegating and empower the software developers, but that didn't happen and will never happen. That was the reason to create Mbin.
