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?

I'm wondering the same, I would guess grey listing and shadow banning to be the most effective.

Lol at creating a new open source platform with free speech and immediately asking how to eliminate it.

In the older, better days of the internet, "assholes" were just a part of it.

In the older, better days, we used kill files, and our choice of platform was eventually overrun by spam.

idea: let each instance have a prepopulated blocklist

let the admins of each instance have a list of blocked users that gets inherited to members of that instance, but let users remove from that list as well as add to avoid abuse. and don't hide the comments from these users, just collapse them to let people know a comment has been hidden in case of mistakes

(possibly even allow regex to avoid RandomWord1234, which was common on reddit)

this is a rather extreme tactic though, only for if spam becomes overwhelming
