How is it running a kbin mag? How much time and headache? Is it worth it? Why do you it? Do you recommend doing it?

if you have # fox news anywhere in your mag info, remove it and the microblogs/posts will stop. if you add it in the bio, it will federate those posts

It's based on the title. I have other magazines with the same problem. It's automatic.

i was just trying to help, because it fixed my issue, don't know why you downvoted me for that but ok 👍🏼

Thank you for trying to help me. I downvoted just because I thought it's incorrect, but I removed the downvote because now I feel bad about it. I still think it's incorrect, though.

What you say would be true if we were discussing tags in the Magazine Panel. But there's an implicit tag which does not appear there, that being the name of the magazine.

A fix for the bug would be to automatically add the magazine name as a tag on magazine creation, allowing moderator(s) to remove that tag if so desired, thereby disabling the magazine's subscription to its own name.
