I wonder how many might be bot accounts?

really dating myself here, but I could not get enough of the OG Sims game. I used to play until I fell asleep at my keyboard. It felt so innovative at the time.
THANK YOU so much! I'm very new to kbin so I had no idea that existed. Much appreciation!
Is there a way to block an entire instance? Because in my kbin.social settings I have "hide adult content" turned ON and yet I keep getting posts from lemmynsfw in my feed and my sidebar of random recent posts.
I'm excited for it, cause 2D Mario is something I grew up with on the NES and SNES. I love the art style they went with or this one, it's so clean, but it looks like it will play like the older games that were 2D. I don't know if I will get it on release but it's definitely on my to be played list.
we're all still small fries, but that's ok because the fediverse is large. We're just small apartment buildings full of people in a larger city. We're not alone and size isn't as important as community and communication.
It's not sanctimonious. We care what our members think and feel. We have the open support of the author we're the fandom for, even saying he'd follow us to a new platform if the community decided to go to one. There's nothing sanctimonious about caring about a community and letting the collective decide what to do. We don't "own" the community, we caretake it. We don't exercise power without the fans being behind it.
There's this option for me in the main settings page on kbin.
No worries, we all just want the same thing I guess. The ability to block a complete instance from our feed.
That's what I did with St Louis Blues. There was no community here to I started one, asked for help and already have a second mod. We try to post1 or 2 news stories a day to start. Convo will happen when off-season really kicks in and then we will have pre-season and by then Lemmy/Kbin should be established.
As soon as I find someone with the passion for it I am transferring the community though, I have enough to mod lol
I'm a mod of a group of related subreddits that are all part of the same fandom community. We've been polling our members each step of the way so we can represent their interests and not just shut down because the mods wanted to. Our subs voted to stay dark for a week, and on the 19th we will reopen, but Restricted, so we can poll again to see what our next steps, as a community, are. We won't just pull the plug on our communities without their consent, and while we're dark we're researching alternative platforms to rehome on if that's needed.
browsing in new I have seen a !houseplants but I'm not sure which instance it was on. It would be nice to see cozyplaces or something like it though.
We purged 32k unverified bot/spam accounts from our Lemmy instance this past week. We had email verification on but had missed adding CAPTCHA during initial setup. We're still fairly new. Had over 1500 accounts "apply" within a 2 minute span. My admin email was flooded. It was ridiculous.
They're gone now, but we're staying vigilant.
