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?

    There were a lot of very useful bots, and you can’t block bots anyway without blocking APIs, and we can all see how well that goes.

      Yeah, I cant see a real argument against bots like that Auto TLDR bot for articles or that summary posting bot for Wikipedia links.

        The unit conversion bot is also really useful (almost necessary) for everyone outside the United States.

          Wouldn’t a browser addon be a better option?

            I don’t want to get an addon just because people occasionally use Fahrenheit

            I don’t think I can install browser extensions on Jerboa :P
