Weird moderation issue across sites? (kbin.social)

I’m not sure if this is a known issue or not, and not sure where to check if it is.

I use kbin to post to communities on beehaw and lemmy. One post, in a gaming community on beehaw, had a moderator come in a lock comments. Only…they weren’t showing as a moderator of the community on the page in kbin, and I was still seeing options to reply to all comments. I replied to the moderator as a test, and it was still possible to comment….kind of. My reply showed up on kbin, but it wasn’t on beehaw. That seems less than ideal when it comes to moderating.

The post in question on kbin:

I know, and I do appreciate that. I mostly speak out of frustration that our moderation tools are very rudimentary. We simply don't have all the tools we need to do proper content curation.

Kbin has burst onto the scene of the fediverse, and is now a serious player. I think it risks defederation if this issue isn't fixed. It is an attack vector for people with nefarious goals.
