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 kind of wanted to downvote you, but I suppose ecochambers are kind of a feature in Lemmy? I’ll have to wrap my head around that.

      Like reddit, it’s by design. That’s the price we pay for participating in a consensus-driven frontpage aggregator that’s divided by interests/politics/ideologies etc…

      My stance is leave them alone to talk shit about me so I’m left alone to talk shit about them. Block and move on if I find the person disruptive, report them if they break server rules. And then block them and move on.

      In total I think I’ve blocked more people than I’ve downvoted on Lemmy.

        I hardly ever used downvotes on reddit and will probably use them even less on lemmy, though I’m still very glad to have it if I need it.
