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?

    It’s still okay for people who don’t dress the part to pretend to be tigers and dragons online.

      thats not what i mean either, just like in the real world you can wear masks and costumes or not. you can even wear masks that arent obvious simply pretending to be entirely different people. what else are you looking for, hit me with it.

        The same Elder Internet that spawned Usenet also spawned furries, which seem to have become a standard test case for “so just how tolerant is your community?”

          i mean as far as they go, strange to me and mostly harmless. I’m running a SFW instance, no fukkin clue what the line there would be (halp is welcome lol), was not a huge thing in the forums I ran back in the 00’s. Overall im not queazy but im sure there will be drama, these days I expect drama over everything.

          this is also a reason I run topical subs rather than just having OT, general or shitpost subs. Ill have an OT channel usually but if its drama becomes too much a distraction its well enough to just shut it down.

          for the more personal and off-topic style subs where people are more “hair-down”…fireworks im sure.

              its not hard, ansible playbook and overall not hard on the machine.
