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?

We still have voting, mods, and admins. Mods can take action for bad content, admins can take action for chronic offenders, or if mods aren't taking care of a community. And worst case scenario, if an instance is causing trouble as a whole, it can be defederated.

Down the line, I think we'll see spam lists to help deal with people creating lots of spam instances, like email has.

What does "the eternal September" mean?

[-] shadeless@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's just a reference to the old Usenet days in the 90s when it became popular and a flood of new users came in and "ruined" it

The newsgroup server I'm on is actually called eternal-september.org in remembrance.
