No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Kbin.social is a very poorly moderated Server, so the worst of the worst users tend to congregate there, and it's a general purpose instance which is the face of Kbin so many instances will choose not to defederate it which would hurt the Kbin project.
yeah, the admin creating kbin is the only one interesting there. other than that, it's just a place to subscribe to lemmy communities. Not much activity happening on its own.
Yeah pretty much, even that isn't very good, since the community had to step in and make Mbin because the Kbin dev wasn't working on it or merging requests and the project was starting to fall behind because of it. Plus it ended up having some serious vulnerabilities like not federating mod actions and just federation in general which isn't great and undermines its whole purpose as a federated forum. Even its killer feature Mastodon/Microblog integration didn't and to my knowledge still doesn't work properly.
