I ran across that magazine recently and every post is transphobic af. Does that fit within kbin.social’s code of conduct?
The magazine’s rule #1: NO BIGOTRY omfg I can’t 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“No bigotry against US! TERF is a slur even though we coined it!” Is what they really mean.
@ernest You should look into that, how is it allowed?
I’ve already sent him a PM about that user & magazine a while ago. Still waiting and hoping to hear / see something.
Edit: I also think this is kinda disappointing. Kbin immediately defederated from nsfwlemmy over some bullshit allegations that weren’t even true. Meanwhile this and other examples of toxicity remain to fester directly on this instance.
I sent him one a few months ago, and it was gone within a few hours. I think he cares, but is swamped and probably gets a ton of BS.
It needs to be acted on though. We don’t want this to become a nazi bar. I hope he can figure out a way to share the load sometime soon.
Agree, I don’t like defederating, why defederate from instance if you can just block it (There on kbin)
Any time I tried to get someone to check out Reddit, I hated having to preface it with, oh and you’re going to want to block these 30 subs, they’re horrible, and here’s another 100 that are kinda gross, I’ll email you my list…
There’s stuff to block, but there’s stuff that should be banned too. I remember recommending some of the SQL reddits to coworkers just weeks before the jailbait crap hit the national news. It’s up to ernest how he wants to run this place, but I hope we don’t let the bar go too low.
I tried to report this magazine using the “contact” page a while back as it violates the kbin.social terms of service, but I guess as long as it’s only one nutjob posting and all the posts are getting disliked, it isn’t really a priority to remove.
Best not to let it fester
Seriously. The dozen or so people subbed there are people I would prefer not find safe haven on Kbin
I also definitely feel like it’s best to take more decisive action against hateful magazines, but I’m just assuming that this is @ernest’s logic: That people can block or clown on bigots until the bigots feel unwelcome, grow bored at the lack of an audience, and leave.
I’ve personally been thinking of migrating to Blåhaj Lemmy because of the inadequate moderation against hateful magazines on this instance, but I’m waiting to see how kbin.social’s administration approach goes long-term. I think it would definitely be worthwhile for Ernest to invest in a bigger admin team and a more democratic approach to administration.
Ugh, and 10A somehow also hasn’t been banned yet (and a quick check to his profile shows that he isn’t just still making bad-faith arguments about “free speech” but is also still spreading xenophobia, fake news about the last election, and so on).
I’m out. Anyone know of a kbin (not lemmy) instance with reasonably good moderation?
Our main problem is that the kbin software doesn’t yet support having multiple admins on an instance. Ernest isn’t really able to handle both improving the code and doing instance-wide moderation, so the latter is neglected.
Your best bet for now would be a smaller instance with an active admin, though the overall problem will persist until the right features get added to the software.
This makes me wonder if adding some temporary restrictions to creating magazines here (based on account age or activity?) would be worth it to potentially help slow down ones like this being made (and to help slow down magazine squatting?).
All accounts are relatively young. Kbin has only been live for a few months.
Yeah I’ve only had this account for a few weeks. It just feels like brand new users have too much freedom I guess.

He actually downvoted this thread. lol
And my comment. In a private window I can see that he replied to my comment as well, despite the fact that I blocked him, so blocks are still not working properly apparently.
They don’t. I had to figure that out with another big kbin troll.
Blocks are like blinders. They’re not meant to prevent anyone else from doing anything.
Yes, because I support free speech, a foundational value of western civilization.
Then you should actually upvote it to encourage the discussion instead of being the usual bigoted troll.
You can advocate for free speech while downvoting the content of the speech. That’s the whole principle of free speech. It’s not just for the content we upvote; it’s specifically for the content we downvote.
No. The vote buttons are not meant to be used as your personal like & dislike button and you full well know that already too.
You’re talking about old-school reddiquette, which even reddit itself forgot eons ago: upvote well thought-out comments even if you disagree with them. And I actually do that to a degree, even if I dislike the author’s point. But if I think the comment is wrong in some way then I downvote it. That’s not to say I want the author silenced, just that the down button is there to be used sometimes.
You support free speech, just not enough to learn what it actually means.
Oh yeah? Educate me, wise old political agitator.
Nah. We both know your ignorance is wilful, not accidental.
No you don’t. If you did you wouldn’t support giving terfs and fascists a platform. They use those platforms to erode and destroy free speech systematically.
The entire point of free speech is to support those with whom we disagree. It means absolutely nothing if you only support the speech of those with whom you agree. You need to be willing to say “Those ideas disgust me, yet I will gladly sacrifice my life in battle to defend the right of anyone to speak them.” That’s free speech.
Freedom of speech means the government can’t suppress your speech. We have this in place to protect everyone from anyone who wants to use government to suppress speech.
The speech you are “supporting” amounts to “Those minorities disgust me, I don’t think they should exist/have rights”. Some TERFers are going to support removing the freedom of speech from Transpeople. You’ll have trouble finding one who will state it directly, I imagine, but transphobes everywhere are working diligently to marginalize trans people, or even incite violence against them.
No private citizen (read: people who host kbin/lemmy servers) is obligated to host/platform/listen to anything. I certainly wouldn’t host TERF opinions if it was my server. I wouldn’t allow it at my dinner table. We must be intolerant of the intolerant to protect those whom the intolerant seek to attack.
It doesn’t mean I think the government should start suppressing TERF views, that’s not their place. This is what freedom of speech means.
No, like several others in this thread you are conflating the principle of the freedom of speech with the US First Amendment. They are not the same thing. The First Amendment was predicated on the principle of the freedom of speech. The principle of the freedom of speech is foundational to western civilization, and is applicable to kbin. The US First Amendment is inapplicable here, as it only applies to the government.
When you support free speech, the specific nature of the speech doesn’t matter. I’m no TERF, or even close, but I’d gladly fight and die to protect their right to say whatever they believe, no matter how repulsive it may be.
No private citizen is obligated to support freedom of speech — legally that’s correct. But for those of us who live in the West, we must fight to uphold western civilization lest it crumble around us. It’s a moral duty, not a legal obligation. And once freedom of speech is abolished, goodbye kbin, and goodbye to all of our ability to express any of our thoughts in any context.
And once freedom of speech is abolished, goodbye kbin
Then wish it goodbye then, because even under it’s current operation this does not exist. Doing things like posting specific threats (threatening shootings, bombings), doxxing users, illegal porn, and other various behavior is still speech, we just all agree it’s harmful.
I am going to descend into hyperbole for a minute, apologies. I think it’s necessary because in my opinion you are already being hyperbolic. If Kbin.social chooses to ban this magazine, will you personally go fight kbin.social to unban it? Will you show up to this admin’s house with the intent to persuade them? You said you’d fight and die, gladly, for what you see as free speech, so would it apply here? I don’t think you would. This is why I am confused about whether you’re speaking about the first amendment or not. When we start talking this way I can only assume you are speaking about fighting against a fascist government, because I don’t think you mean to literally go threaten someone.
I support the idea that anyone should be able to say mostly whatever they want as long as they’re not advocating harm for other groups of people. I also support instances moderating things they don’t want to see on their platform. If a platform is too restrictive, I’ll leave, sure. I will point out you’re working awful hard to fight for a group a lot of other people think are deeply harmful to marginalized groups.
Uh, no, that’s not the point of free speech. The point of free speech is that people can’t be arrested for saying something the government doesn’t like. That’s it. Free speech does not mean that anyone is entitled to a platform, and it never has. It doesn’t mean people have to tolerate shitty beliefs and treat them as equal to any other. It doesn’t mean that you can just say whatever you want wherever you want without being told to get the fuck out. People like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what free speech is and what its purpose is, and as a result you roll out the red carpet for fascists and the like so they can walk all over you.
Like so many other people in this thread, you are conflating the principle of free speech with the US First Amendment. Do they not teach this stuff in Civics Class anymore? The First Amendment is predicated on free speech. Free speech is fundamental to western civilization. The first Amendment is only applicable to government, whereas the principle of free speech is applicable to everyone in western civilization. We must all uphold free speech for all people, lest western civilization collapses.
In a free society, we have the downvote button for content we personally dislike. You’re free to criticize their beliefs, and you’re free to try to change their minds. But as soon as you try to silence anyone, you become an enemy of free society. We must all work to uphold western civilization, while realizing that it most certainly will always provide a platform for people (including ourselves) to explore all manner of ideas freely.
That’s a nice flowery and poetic concept of free speech, but it wasn’t the reason the 1st amendment was made, that was made so that people running for office couldn’t silent their opposition and the people could voice their criticisms without fear of retaliation from the government.
But whatever, fine, I’ll humour you.
If you want to uphold your version of free speech, then don’t give people like fascists (and terfs, which are just fascists with a fake mustache on at this point) a platform. They will actively work to dismantle that free speech, and thus are antithetical to it. No amount of trying to counter their arguments with facts and logic or appealing to their emotions will do anything in a public forum, history has shown that only private intervention has any chance of success at deradicalizing people on an individual basis. If you let the movement gain more visibility and legitimacy by entertaining their views on your platform, then you are helping them destroy free speech, full-stop. They are the true enemies of free society, and if you actually care about it you have to protect it from bad faith actors taking advantage of and manipulating it to erode the rights of others.
In a free society nobody is obligated to give anyone a platform or to entertain insanity. I work to uphold all civilization, not just western, by telling nazis to fuck off. You wouldn’t let a guy flinging his own shit around to get up on stage, and that’s the equivalent of what nazis are, except they actively spread propaganda and recruit other shit flingers, which is a lot easier to do up on a stage where everyone can see them flinging shit, and their shit can reach a lot more people. If you let them in, eventually all that will be left is a bunch of people flinging their shit around, and everyone else will have either left to avoid getting hit, or will have already been covered in it and are now suffering because of that. And it will all be because you wanted to defend to the death that guy’s right to throw shit at people.
And then in the end your “free speech” is nothing but a feces covered nightmare, and the mob of poop tossers moves on to the next stage, their numbers greater than ever. Congratulations.
There are not a lot of Kbin instances yet, so it’s hard to say at a glance whether an instance has actually good moderation or if it just doesn’t have enough users to cause trouble to begin with.
Edit: I found a more expansive list of instances and fedi196.gay seems like a good one
IIRC don’t think there’s even way to export data if you want to move instances either . Hope it all gets resolved sooner than later
Indeed. It’s easy enough to back up your posts/threads/comments with “save page as” on each page of your profile, but you can’t automatically transfer your followers, following, subscriptions, or moderated in a migration. You’d have to ask to be re-added as a moderator, have to contact your followers individually, have to add your subscriptions and following one by one to your new account… Has anybody made any sort of third-party tool to make migration easier?
Seems like you can’t even moderate a magazine from another instance 😔
You can’t moderate from another Kbin instance?!
Moderation isn’t federated, afaik. I don’t think it’s federated on any type of Fediverse software.
You can but it basically doesn’t federate back to source instance :|
Would be amazing to see the ability to designate account aliasing or cross-instance moderation so trusted admins / mods could be added to remote instances to assist.

I’m not expecting perfection, but there hasn’t even been visible commitment to a strong moderation policy. ernst has as far as I can tell remained mostly silent on the matter, occasionally deflecting to “tools aren’t ready yet”, but also not really committing to what he wants to be done with the tools.
10A is a particularly prolific problematic user, and as a single user (unlike the flood of porn spam) it’s a simple matter to ban him. It should not have been a hard decision to make by now.
Personally, a bit over a month ago, I defined banning 10A (as well as one other individual) as the canary that would let me consider recommending other people come here. I was willing to give it some time, but it hasn’t happened yet. Whether this is an explicit policy of weak moderation, or simply an accidental one thanks to putting it at too low a priority, I don’t know. But I don’t particularly want to be on a site that I don’t feel comfortable recommending other people use. So I’m taking my own (lack of) recommendation for now and going to take a long break from this site.
deleted by creator
EH and grad at least were defederated at some point after I signed up, so that does seem to indicate that Ernest doesn’t want those kinds of users/content on here.
I don’t think your stance is wrong though, and you should do what you need to do. Kbin wasn’t ready for the influx of redditors, and we’re seeing the effects of that now. I’m still hopeful that things will get cleaned up eventually, but we’ll see.
This comment is libel against me. I am not xenophobic, and I do not spread fake news (to the best of my knowledge).
BeeHaw looked promising up until a few days ago when this happened:
https://beehaw.org/comment/819474
and the response from the other admins was a lack luster too.
https://beehaw.org/comment/848740
Like how hard would it be to say that the admin’s behavior was unacceptable and it will be discussed internally. It seems clear to me (and most other posters there) that it was a one sided issue.
I’m not really sure where is good. It was nice to see some non-admins speaking up about it, but seeing the other admins circling the wagons when one of them is clearly in the wrong makes me weary of doing any more than lurking. 10A wouldn’t last 5 minutes there, but you have to worry about being berated if you’re not as far left as the admins even if you’re respectful.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall fight to the death to defend your right to say it.
When you ban people, you tell them to go form an echo chamber where they’ll flourish.
A more intelligent approach is to imitate Daryl Davis, who has convinced hundreds of KKK members to leave the KKK, simply by respectfully talking with them.
You might actually learn a thing or two in the process.
For every Daryl Davis who can successfully talk down 100 Klansmen, you’ll find 100 Black people begging for their lives trying to reason with the Klan in their last moments. For every thought of “I can fix them!” that you may have, you have to weigh that against how many more people you’ll need to fix if you platform their ideas and treat them as something worth “respectfully debating”.
Convincing people to leave hate groups is a great thing to do, but if respectful debate were effective on the large scale, and we have no shortage of people respectfully arguing that hate is a bad thing, why is the far right a bigger threat now than it was ten years ago? Do not tolerate the intolerant, do not debate the undebatable, do not respect the unrespectable.
The “far right” is growing because the left keeps moving further left, and normal people realize they’re now considered conservative.
If you want an echo chamber, go on and kick me out. You reap what you sow.
What insane version of reality are you living in?
Globally the Overton window has shifted drastically right these past few decades.
Not too long ago leftists were holding ceos hostage and fighting armed conflicts, it’s so watered down people think someone like Bernie Sanders is a radical communist when he’s basically centrist.
The “far right” is growing because the left keeps moving further left, and normal people realize they’re now considered conservative.
I guess there really is no floor for how simple an idea can be when it’s not beholden to reality. Thanks for the example.
I’m sorry I’m trying to give you rights and you feel attacked by that.
This talking point is a deliberate strategy of the far-right that has no basis in reality.
The far-right is growing because people like him are allowed platforms to groom people for extremism. And whenever that platform is at risk, they start trying to guilt people by bleating about “censorship” and “free speech” and “echo chambers”.
Just ban him. He will never contribute anything of value. We’re already aware what the opinions of assholes are, we don’t need reminding.
It’s absolutely true. Look at the DNC policy from 20+ years ago, and you’d think it looks like RNC policy of today. Moving leftward is part and parcel of the notion of “Progressive” politics — moving progressively leftward.
Because it’s always a boy, and always one with your opinions.
Your dumbass hillbilly country does not have a left. Your political spectrum ends pretty close to the center.
Should I be surprised that someone so radically far-left, so as to believe the US has no left, is someone who freely dishes out insults?
If I’m “radically far left”, where would you place tankies and the likes then? Seriously, get your head checked and open your eyes as to what is happening in your idiotic country. If you don’t like my harsh tone, then simply start to do better, be better, be a decent human being. Until then I’m not going to touch you with velvet gloves because your behavior and decisions over there have a crucial impact on the rest of the world. Until then you can continue to suck my pucker, because that somehow would still make your shit spewing mouth somehow cleaner. o7
Bye son!
You sound like you’ve never argued with fascists online.
They only exist in echo chambers, anyway, and do not debate in good faith. There is nothing similar to what Daryl Davis did except in the most superficial way possible. Go visit /r/conservative and you might actually learn a thing or two.
Mate, it’s obvious they are the fascists online.
I’m a bit slow this morning.
I was active in r/Conservative, and here I’m the primary contributer to m/Conservative. Hi, nice to meet you. When I’m engaged in arguments involving the word “fascist”, it’s rarely me using that word (unless we’re literally discussing Mussolini), and usually me who’s called that for favoring levelheaded conservative principles. I enjoy mutually respectful debate, but I find most others prefer to fearfully call me a “fascist,” downvote everything I’ve ever written, block me, and walk away feeling sanctimonious.
You were active in the biggest alt-right safe space echo chamber in all of reddit? Colour me surprised.
I was active in r/Conservative, and here I’m the primary contributer to m/Conservative.
This is already a point at which you should go home and rethink your life. Everything else you’ve said only digs the hole deeper.
Yes, everyone whose point of view differs from yours must obviously be inferior to you.
That’s a hilarious turn; my statement was meant to be rhetorical. But you really have never argued with fascists!
And I never said YOU were fascist… but I guess that doesn’t fit with your canned response then, huh?
Fascists haven’t existed since 25 Luglio in 1943. You can find a tiny number of exceptions over the years, but as a broad statement it’s true. I’m not old enough to have argued with fascists, and I bet you’re not either.
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Yea wow, we’ve never seen that in the last 7 years!
I can see I really triggered you with that word. It’s hilarious that you self-identified with it and got defensive.
It certainly does sound like typical leftists if you squint. Everyone in this thread opposing free speech is an authoritarian. But if you actually read that definition word for word, it’s a position almost nobody supports. What’s more, the definition has been changed from the original political affiliation. I’m not surprised Miriam-Webster’s open to redefining words, but try as they might, words still mean what they originally meant. Still, their definition is close enough to the original to demonstrate my point that there are no fascists left, unless you squint and look at modern leftists.
Ah, right- There are no fascists but if there are it’s the leftists! Thanks for a good laugh today. Don’t ever let facts get in your way, bud.
And did you give such flowery speeches about people’s “freedom of speech” over in r/Conservative when they routinely banned people for not just disagreeing, but for not agreeing enough?
Or, like them, is your sense of injustice reserved entirely for straight, white reactionaries?
I have mixed feelings about this
On one hand, Daryl Davis is a hero, and his method actually works to de-radicalize people. I prefer using this method when I encounter bigots irl.
On the other hand, allowing bigoted speech in your online platform has the potential to drive away normal folks and turn your platform into the echo-chamber where bigotry flourishes that you mentioned. This is basically what happened to Voat.
I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall fight to the death to defend your right to say it.
I agree with this, but it’s beside the point. This isn’t a public space like a street corner, it’s a managed public/private space like a bar, where the bouncer will kick you out for abusing other patrons.
A group of patrons sitting at a table in a bar, quietly discussing their TERF perspective, is entirely different from one of them walking up to a trans table and picking a fight. The former is an exercise of free speech, whereas the latter is cause for ejection.
No. You don’t have the right to debate other people’s right to exist. Such speech is an act of violence and should be treated as such.
I don’t want a group of people sitting around “discussing” whether or not black people are inherently inferior either. That is not speech we should accept in the public sphere
Have you never heard “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me”? It’s preschool 101. Speech is never an act of violence.
Additionally, nobody is debating anyone’s right to exist.
Says the person who’s never heard their own right to exist or the rights of their loved ones called into question publicly.
You don’t have the right to “debate” other people’s equal rights.
Except really, nobody’s ever debating anyone’s right to exist. That’s absurd.
Consider this: If a mass murderer was captured and imprisoned, he could claim that the justice system opposes his right to exist. The trouble with that is he’d be completely incorrect. The justice system opposes his behavior of murder. No matter how much he believes his very existence is inextricably bound to his behavior of murder, the reality is he murders by choice, and it is that intentional action which the justice system opposes.
Did you just compare trans people living their lives without hurting anyone to murder?
“Speech is never an act of violence” mfs when I use a public platform to smear them as child molesters, while simultaneously encouraging acts of vigilantism against “paedos”: 😯
They’re not discussing quietly, everyone can hear them, and they want to be heard.
I only know about them because I subscribe to m/kbinMeta. If you stick to your subscribed magazines, as I do, you only hear those to whom you intentionally listen.
Except it’s more like a group of patrons at a bar talking about killing a trans person, and than the next day one of them actually does it.
What kind of absurd hyperbole is that? Nobody has called for murder. And certainly nobody has committed a murder based on a call for it.
Speech has real life consequences.

Pick almost any mass shooter at random and look at their online history and you’ll find the same story over and over again; “progressively radicalised by social media”.
They’re absolutely aware these domestic terrorists come from their midst. Find a far-right enough chat room and they openly celebrate it.
I don’t condone murder under any circumstances. But using 56 murders as an excuse to silence anyone online is a disgrace to the principle of free speech.
The principle of free speech, in America, has nothing to do with forcing people to tolerate hateful rhetoric. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_in_the_United_States.
In the United States, freedom of speech and expression is strongly protected from government restrictions by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, many state constitutions, and state and federal laws. Freedom of speech, also called free speech, means the free and public expression of opinions without censorship, interference and restraint by the government.
As long as the government isn’t arresting you for your opinions then nothing going on here has to do with “free speech”. Individuals and corporations silencing you online is not a “disgrace to the principle of free speech”.
Daryl Davis does what he does in one-on-one contexts and other safe environments.
He doesn’t go on extremist internet forums and try to convince a bunch of nutjobs and trolls and violent monsters all at the same time. He would have been downvoted into oblivion where people who are looking for somebody to troll would have found him and antagonized him until he left.
If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.
That misunderstanding is why echo chambers grow. Your fear of being perceived as a Nazi only reveals that you’re overly concerned what other people think of you, which strongly suggests that you’re young and naive. As you grow up, you’ll stop caring what others think of you (hopefully you will — no everyone does), and you’ll learn to respectfully engage in conversation with people of divergent viewpoints (even if they happen to believe their personal level of melanin justifies their superiority complex).
As you grow up, you’ll stop caring what others think of you (hopefully you will — no everyone does
Good people care about what their friends and family think of them more than they care about grooming school shooters.
This is true.
Oh well at least you’re openly admitting you’re not a good person and are encouraging others to not be good people 🤣
The fact that you think that quote is about “owno, they’ll think Imma Nazi ;_;” reveals sooo many flaws with your world view.
Absolute “I am 12 and this is deep” material, hilarious.

You’re confusing that “Voltaire” quote (which wasn’t actually said by him) with the American First Amendment.
The American First Amendment is predicated on America’s cultural basis in the principle of free speech, which is embodied by the quote. The American First Amendment indeed applies only to government, restricting its overreach. But the principle of free speech is one of the core principles of American culture. It goes far deeper than the First Amendment.
If you don’t want to debate with them then don’t subscribe to their magazine, and leave them alone.

I find it interesting that, at the heart of our differences, is a disagreement over the nature of the internet itself — whether it’s public or private, more like a town square or more like our own living rooms. If you go back to the '90s, when the Web was nascent, I think technologists would have been surprised to learn that the issue is still so unsettled in 2023. I suppose it’s a tough issue to settle. Ultimately, neither of our traditional notions of “public” and “private” fit it well.
We agree that people who want us dead should not be invited into our living rooms. My position is that by surfing kbin we are putting ourselves in the middle of a town square, and opening ourselves up to any and all perspectives, disagreeable as they may be. As an American, my sentiment is “bring it on.”
The internet is public, go register a domain for hate speech, or “free speech” as some call it.
Websites are private property and do have moderation.This would be true iff signups were by invitation only.
How would the first ammendment apply to a Polish website?
It wouldn’t. At all. But the principle of free speech certainly does.
The magazine name is Modern Misogyny and rule 1 is “No bigotry - misogyny…”.
That is like dividing by zero.Right now, it appears to exist only with one user posting to himself. It is not a big problem. However, if you don’t clean these things up quickly, you end up with a Nazi bar. Voat started out very Libertarian, but by the time it closed, its front page was dominated by hard-core antisemitism, it literally became a Nazi hang-out. Tolerance of intolerance ends up allowing the intolerance to spread and become the majority. kbin.social can not end up like that.
Im a former right wing libertarian. The kind of libertarian that voat was. I left because I looked around the libertarian communities I was in and realized I was the only one there who wasn’t anti semitic. You say it started libertarian and became Nazi. Right wing libertarianism IS nazism. They took the good ideas of real libertarianism (left libertarian, anarchism) and layered on shitty capitalism and other fucked up beliefs such as antisemitism and racism. Voat didn’t become Nazi it was always Nazi. Founded because groups like fatpeoplehate and other fucked up subs got banned.
Apparently, almost everything (within the law) is allowed until it generates enough controversy to annoy the admin, in which case it is banned regardless of whether it violated the code of conduct or not.
Well, it violates the Kbin terms of service. Therefore it is being bright to the attention of admin.

So basically, Reddit.
How does one report a magazine and/or a user? I presume reporting posts in that magazine will just go to the bigoted owner, so no help there.
I don’t want to just block them, I want to know when they’re pushing their bigotry somewhere.
