@viking there's been no official announcement or anything, but the last change to Kbin's software was about 4 months ago, and there are no admins here who have the ability to block or ban accounts or other instances, so spam can only be hidden not removed from magazines that still have moderators.
@Gamers_Mate pretty much, yeah. The post is hidden in the magazine and on the spam account's profile, but the post isn't fully deleted. And the spam account isn't affected in any way, even if we directly report it as there's no one here with admin privileges who can actually delete accounts or posts.

I just made an account on mbin just in case. Though I will still be using Kbin it doesnt hurt to try it.
I think Kbins main problem is what a lot of open source projects go through which is all the contributions being from programmers having a team of programmers is great but having artists admins community managers is important as well.
Ernest is currently the main dev and community manager when he is not programming which is a lot of work for one person.
The last update did mention applications for becoming a site moderator which I think means on the instance level and not magazine level.
Also I noticed on mbin I got a notification from your comment where it says @username even though it links to kbin social I am guessing it looks at the username and not the instance it is from when someone mentions a username?
@Gamers_Mate Oh, 100% Everything around Kbin aside, Ernest had a ton of stuff going on in his personal life that should totally take precedent over this here.
I did see the post about applications for instance-wide moderators, which Kbin definitely needs. But I don't believe any action has been taken past the announcement yet.
But that's really interesting. I just checked and I got a notification for your last comment over on my Mbin account as well. I don't know if maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Mbin account is subscribed to this magazine as well and got looped in as well or what? I may have to look into it and see if either it's just a bug or if I'm doing something wrong lol.
Just saw the convo about the mention thing. At the moment, it's a known issue. Something we'll have to fix eventually. Mastodon seems to use tag field with keys like type: mention, username: x to signify who to actually notify. /kbin and Mbin do seem to parse the body text instead, so we'll probably want to fix it to be specific and not rely on the flaky body text parsing
Yes, working with images is very interesting and at the same time difficult. But I found an easy-to-use photo editor https://skylum.com/pc-photo-editor that helps me complete my projects quickly. They are always bright and creative.
They have Word for features like this. Notepad is a slim editor. No rich text. No frills.
I don’t know who asked for this. It must be so that their systems can ingest the content of the file for whatever purposes they may want to use it for. Like training their AI.
They’ve also fixed a long standing critical bug in Snipping Tool, wherein it wouldn’t work properly if you were using multiple displays with different magnifications (e.g. a laptop at 150% and an external monitor at 100%).
Gonna be apologetic to all the work being put out by Dave Grochocki & team but... instant uninstall for some of these in-box apps as soon as I'm able and glad that they're finally providing the option 😅
@sudo_xe
Yeah, I personally use most of their in-box apps, but it's great that they're giving us the option to uninstall some of the ones we don't want anymore.
