So far Lemmy is vibing. Everyone here is excited and optimistic and willing to put up with a few rough spots to be part of something.

When the Eternal September comes, which it will, how does a Lemmy instance deal with bad actors?

    Hopefully all the assholes are attracted to one shitty instance and then that instance gets defederated.

    Srsly tho, the assholes are kind of apart of the whole experience, but I think the people being drawn over here right now are not really the asshole type, at least so far.

      Typically assholes like to be in an echochamber and won’t stay in a community where they get downvoted and reported. Just downvote asshole posts and they’ll naturally leave to an instance that allows assholes.

        If that were true, they’d be happy staying in voat or truthsocial for example.

        It is dangerous to throw stones in a glass house.

      in mastodon there were instances only to assholes, and other instances blocked them as a whole, so i think it’s gonna be easier
