are these periodic infuxes of bots (first porn, and now pharmaceuticals) a kbin-specific problem, or a wider fediverse issue? (kbin.social)

and is there anything we, kbin, or the wider fediverse can do to combat them?

I realise they're probably solely an issue to users like me, who frequently browse all and by newest, because of the relative dearth of content here compared to reddit, so the verdict might so not be no further action is needed. and admittedly, it's not hard to just scroll past their posts.

Hi there, I'm currently working on solving the problem. There will be significant changes this month. I know it's taking longer than I initially announced, but this will be a really solid release. The contributors have made an incredible work and I didn't want to miss anything.

Seem to get a lot of pharmaceutical spam in the science magazine.

Very happy to volunteer as co-mod if you would like help squashing it.
