kbin.social temporarily blocked due to an ongoing botspam attack

For the last three hours, kbin.social has been under attack by a group of bot accounts. They've been posting hundreds of porn links to the random@kbin.social magazine. These posts have been flooding across to lemmy.ninja this morning. So far we've been able to remove the content and ban the bot users, but we're unable to keep up with the rate of posting.

We've decided to temporarily block kbin.social until the admins there can get the problem under control. We'll monitor the situation and restore connection to kbin.social once the attack has ceased.

Thanks for your understanding.
