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 was thinking about this, actually. Wouldn’t it be better to have users-only instances and content-only instances? That way you can have an instance with a policy towards certain subjects (e.g.: bigotry, racism, sex openness), but you chose the content you want. Just like if it were a cable or streaming service. You choose the content you want.

    BTW, is there a place to discuss this? How to improve Lemmy and next steps? Also as a way to know how to contribute.

      Self-hosting might be the only way to do this, I imagine any instance with enough users will have people wanting to post locally

        Not necessarily. Again, having content and users separated and the instances with different concerns seems like a good way to simplify operations for users and server admins/mods. And from the instance POV is just what kind of features do you enable.

        Content generation only? Users creation only? Both?

        It’s also easier to make a service out of it.
