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?

Because social media exists. There is identity attached to your online presence for the vast majority of people.
Really? I had my reddit account for 10 years, I dont think a single person remembers/recognizes my “identity”. With smaller communities people actually knew eachother. Your name actually meant something.
Sometimes when I am unsure about a post/comment I click on the user profile and if I see 10yrs / 100K karma, it helps forms my opinion and trust of the user.
And that’s how you end up cutting off your toes because Gallowboob said so.
I blocked them on Reddit as soon as I learned you could block people and I guarantee if they come to Lemmy they’ll be the first people I block here.
I’m using they/them not for gender reasons but because there’s no chance it was just one person running that account. Either multiple people or someone in tandem with a bot. And bots are people.
Yeah blocking the superusers on Reddit is the only way I can use it. It’s insane how much a small amount of people will make up all the posts on /r/all
