How does kbin deal with bigots? (kbin.social)

This user runs this magazine which is entirely dedicated to transphobia under the guise of anti-misogyny (usual TERF bullshit).

They came to spread hate on my magazine the first trans supportive post I made, and looks from my "most active users" that they never stopped despite being banned.

Them ghost commenting on my stuff doesn't bother me as long as others don't see it, but this person is clearly dedicated to the sole purpose of spreading anti trans hate, and im wondering why they're still allowed a place on this platform? I don't doubt they've been reported multiple times.

I get "block people you don't like and move on", which I generally do, but this is several levels beyond that, it isn't a personal disagreement, it's outright and intentional spreading of bigotry which I don't believe has a place here.

So how do kbin deal with issues like this?

There has been a few posts about this person, I blocked them and their magazine so I remember, and there was no consensus on those posts. It's a question for @ernest as he runs the show.

Ok good to know others have also raised concerns, I know ernest and those helping run the site are already busy with a million other things, I just hope this is one of them.

Yeah, same. It’s uncomfortable seeing that type of stuff pop up in the feed.

I am sure he will get to it, but for the moment my solution has just been to block the users when I see them, their community/magazine and sometimes the domain.

I do the same (block/ban), the only reason I noticed them was because I caught a glimpse of the "active users" in my magazine and recognised the cat, and mostly was surprised and disappointed to see them still around..
