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’ve been on reddit long enough that I remember the mantra…

    Do not talk about Reddit on other sites
    Do not link to Reddit from other sites

    They understood the concept of “Eternal September” and wanted to hold it off for as long as possible.

      I’m not sure that represents a good lesson from the original Eternal September.

      One might hope for an echo of Lovecraft:

      Do not call up newbies that you cannot calm down.

      And also:

      Do not permit automated posting that exceeds your capacity for automated filtration.
