Agreed. My block list is unbelievable. As I've said in previous comments about this kind of thing: communication is key.
We're getting zero communication and, if we so wanted to leave, can't even delete our own accounts on the way out.

Real posts (from kbin.social magazines) are becoming quite rare. I find myself coming to this site now to do the following circuit:
- sort by new and report SPAM and block users
- scroll through headlines and read (the few) recent comments/posts to mags I'm interested in
- come to kbinMeta and see if anyone else is seeing what I'm seeing and feeling the same way
- see if the radio silence has yet been broken by the dev
It's a fascinating case study in the rise and fall of an internet community and digital communication platform. And it highlights one important fact about human community management and technology development: COMMUNICATION IS KEY.
Starting to feel like there's more SPAM than posts on Kbin, at this point.
I sort by new and comb through reporting "SPAM" and blocking users, but it's a never-ending cycle it seems and users reported for SPAM are still posting (hence why I block them in addition to reporting the individual posts).
True and agreed. I do still plan to create an account over there soon though. (I'm thinking First Contact day would be fitting, in a way.)
Beat me to posting by 10 minutes. Ha!
(Well, at least 10 minutes as far as I can tell here on kbin.)
Now I understand why they didn't have a Mudd's Bundle sale this week.
This Bundle will likely be something I spend my Zen on!
The Market tends to always be a "pass" for me, since it's stuff I already have from actually doing the events. (Some of) the bundles are tempting at times though. That list is shortening for me, in general. The MMO part of the game has lost its luster for me these days.
"except bundles"
Really? Thanks. Guess I'll keep my Zen then.
Adding an edit:
I want to also note that Mudd's Market sales are usually 75% off not 50% off.
No worries. Sounds like it took you four to five days RL. I'm just trying to imagine what it would take (time-wise) for me to make the trip there. (I, too, have a decently engineered AspX for exploration.) :) Thanks for sharing your screenshots!
Sorry, I meant only for the Colonia trip. You've only been doing that for a few days now, correct?
(I should have been more specific in my first comment. Apologies.)
How many flight hours (your game time)? Number of jumps?

Indeed. I've heard that from others as well.
I, personally, do not intend to delete my account (yet), but I am aware that it is a manual process. As so much is here, it seems.
I recently made some adjustments to my stuff here and it's helped a little. (You'll see the irony momentarily.)
I've unsubscribed from most kbin magazines and have subscribed to magazines (communities) from other Fediverse instances instead. Now my feed actually has content and a lack of SPAM. So, essentially, I'm here in name only.
Eventually, all of us normal users will need to ditch this platform because we won't our names/accounts tied to something that is notorious for SPAM and other illegal activities. Perhaps sooner than later, if the rest of the Fediverse decides to stop federating with kbin.
Until then, I figure at least I can still look through the window at the rest of the Fediverse.
