I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive.

Glad to hear it boss man.
However, you've got to remember that you're the boss man. You have to delegate.
You shouldn't be clearing spam. You have people for that.
I spend time doing a bunch of reports to you on pill pushers and spam links. I could just as easily be spending my time banning those usernames, resulting in faster responses and better experience for everyone.
I think most people on the site would say your time is spent on doing admin stuff. Not mod spam stuff.
I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I’d check out a let’s play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn’t...
kbin.social is being overrun with spammers. Can we disable registrations on this instance so they can't keep creating new accounts? Every day I log on, I have to spend the first 20-30 minutes, reporting and blocking a bunch of new accounts....
Metafilter had a charge of a dollar or two to sign up, and no recurring payments. Seems like a good way to prevent spammers.
Not too much of a hurdle to cross, especially if payments are thru Amazon or some other existing service ppl have trust in. Any funds go to server costs.

Holocure is a surprisingly good survivors-like and it works perfectly on steam deck with no changes. Just don't change resolution on PC to something sd can't handle.

NFC compatible devices such as transportation IC cards and more can be used to generate Kaiju. The NFC device will generate a unique Kaiju based on various properties. Experiment with NFC devices to find out what kind of Kaiju will be generated!"
Monster generators have spam ed from audio CDs to barcodes and now to wireless signals. Interesting to think of a bunch of kids asking to scan Mom's bus pass or throw their old amiibo on to see if they can get something different.
I still prefer to think of it as magic. I hope they keep that appeal of 'i dno wtf gonna happen when I pop this in' from the original game in future games.
@Ernest has pushed an update which allows users to request ownership/moderation of abandoned magazines. Ghost/abandoned magazines were fairly prevalent after the initial wave of hype due to users either squatting magazine names or becoming inactive for other reasons. Now is your chance to get involved, if you were waiting to do...
Ernest, please act on assigning mods to any of the magazines where you are the sole mod. The spam on those is significant and there are people willing to help. E.g. m/internet
So Nintendo just announced their “community tournament guidelines” which basically imposes restrictive rules against anyone running a tournament with their games. Is this even legal?
I think it's related to the rules for display of media. E.g., you can turn on the TV and show a baseball game you receive from an antenna at your home. But if you are a sports bar and try to do the same thing, the MLB will come calling asking for license payments.
