The revolt started a week ago in the south Pacific territory, after a series of disputed independence referenda.

@Gordon_Freeman
It really depends on the very magazine. Basically, it's magazines with Ernest as sole moderator where these problems occur. I'd give it a wait.

@bayaz Thank you! This is even worse than I thought! I will try some things out in the near future in order to find a stable way for banning accs.

@bayaz It's you who gave me food for thought, alongside many other moderators! I only found out yesterday how to properly ban spam accs on kbin.social.

I really appreciate all efforts to grow and take care of communities, be it on kbin, on lemmy, or on mbin! Every day, I try to keep learning from other moderators.

Given the sheer lack of moderation tools, many mods do great work. I hope the situation will improve so that moderatoring will become easier.

@Kierunkowy74
Yes, moderators can access the reports tab within the magazine panel. Every report must include some reason, hence moderators see them. Regarding bans: without giving a proper reason, no ban can come into effect.

You can also check the modlogs on kbin and lemmy instances for bans (does not apply to mbin).

@jayrhacker
Would you elaborate on this?

Banning spam accounts on kbin.social is a cumbersome affair.

E.g., today @bayaz tried to ban several spam accounts. But that just did not quite work:

Instead of straight forward banning the accounts responsible for spam, those accs got unbanned.

How come?

If magazine owners ban a spam acc which prior went unreported, the ban button triggers an unban command.

To effectively ban accounts, they must be reported first. Approving the report will trigger a ban. I.e. magazine owners must report the account identified as spam to themselves to enforce a ban.

Therefore, pre-emptive banning of spam accounts does not work on kbin.social.

This is a serious problem which needs to be addressed asap.

 

The latest victim of last week's rioting and looting in Papua New Guinea's capital is the city's top police commander.

 

Amnesty International is calling on Papua New Guinea authorities to protect human rights in response to the riots.

 

Amongst all the destruction and looting in Port Moresby on Wednesday, a positive, touching story shone through from the unlikeliest of sources – a group of Hela betelnut vendors who took up arms to protect Stop N Shop Boroko branch from looters for hours.

 

A political crisis is brewing in Papua New Guinea as calls are made for Prime Minster James Marape to step down in the wake of deadly riots in parts of the country.

 

Mr Albanese said Australia was monitoring the situation via its high commission and had not received any requests for help from Papua New Guinea, which it regularly supports in policing and security.

 

In the volume’s artful and engaging introduction, Beichman calls our attention to several correspondences with contemporary poetics: first, there is the speculative orientation of Ishigaki’s work, capable of uncanny leaps in spatial and temporal perspective. Then there is its under-explored connection to eco-critical thought. And finally there is its playful but intense awareness of the agentive role of fantasy and imagination in constructing ‘real life.’

 

Angry mobs storm and pillage shops, setting fire to buildings in the Papua New Guinean capital.

 

Chaos broke out as looters took advantage of a protest by the country's police. As well as those who are dead, dozens are injured.

from the article:

The deductions over the last fortnight range between US$26 and US$80 (K100 and K300).

"Frustrations boiled over so they got into their vehicles and stormed parliament...they opened the gates and went into parliament," RNZ Pacific's Papua New Guinea correspondent Scott Waide said.

"There was no real resistance to stop them...it was a rowdy crowd, the defence minister had attempted to speak to them outside of parliament before they walked in," he said.

He said he has been told by government that the deductions are the result of tax glitches.

"They are currently at parliament right now. I think somebody is addressing them, I'm not sure to sure whom as I've just seen the videos.

"There's a large group of police, army and correctional services personnel at parliament house right now, protesting over the deductions.

"The public is relatively quiet, nobody from the public has joined the protest in large numbers. Everything has remained calm."

Up to 200 police, corrections and army personnel have gathered at the Unagi Oval in Port Moresby to in protest over deductions to their salaries this fortnight.

 

The tribal body alleged that the Valley-Based Insurgent Groups (VBIGS) are based in Myanmar, fighting alongside the Myanmar Army against the Pro-Democracy groups, the People’s Defence Force (PDF), and the Kuki National Army-Burma (KNA-B).

@jlow this is a lovely south-south cooperation indeed :)

i felt reminded of the mid/late 2000s, when luke douglas rae painted all over honiara airport in solomons, and when his rival john to'o would go all the way to bandung (indonesia), writing and playing music there everyday, and he also painted great murals, fusing pacific and indonesian motives > the world needs more of this! kudos to gonzalo aldana from mexico :)

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
moreover, i would love to see kbin and mbin devs joining forces, thereby reducing each other's workload :)

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568
can't tell how much i enjoy kbin fr 😊

i hope that the project itself will become more stable, and that ernest will find someone to admin kbin.social, so that ernest can focus on software development
