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?

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.

What makes you think this platform has "free speech"? It has a bunch of tools for suppressing or excluding undesirable tools. Most obviously, moderation can be used to remove comments or users from an instance, and federation can be used to remove whole instances from the network.

I value free speech. But not every platform has to support it, and Lemmy explicitly doesn't - unless people just don't just those levers.
