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 imagine a lot of it could just be ported over.

I think your underestimating how real the battle against spam still is in the email space. If you use Gmail you've got a huge company doing the work for you. If you work in IT and run a corporate mail server you'll see that we pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for anti-spam/phishing filtering.

Bot spam is totally separate and unfortunately I don't see how you'd be able to port the work over.

I'll take your word for it. That's too bad.
