Abandoned large magazines are being bombarded with spam and admins are nowhere to be seen it seems. Hundreds of spam bot posts have not been deleted for months, see /infosec /internet /opensource /science, etc. and there are some posts about admins not responding to reports. So whats happening here?

I see that non-admins are banning spammers from their communities in mod log but thats not an instance wide ban

are any other instances even federating with kbin after this barrage of unmoderated spam?

    kbin.social in particular only has the one admin. I keep an eye on the two ghost-town mags that I mod so they don’t become spam vectors, but there’s only so much we can do without an admin/dev.
