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?

It's a damn necessity if you want to avoid a situation like Mastodon had with Gab joining the fediverse.

Imagine the absolute shitshow if a white-supremacist Reddit clone like Poal suddenly integrated their site with Lemmy...

I'm somewhere between libertarian and progressive, I vote for mainstream Democrats, and I'm not super thrilled with the tankie situation 'round these parts. When I get around to running one of these things, you better bet I'm not peering with the Klan.

So much for the tolerant le–

Hopefully you've got the Paradox of Tolerance on hand, because you'll end up quoting it a lot with every 'free speech!' person who shows up angry that you banned someone for throwing slurs around.

I'm pretty far from Marxist myself, but I gotta say, I can't see a system like Lemmy coming up at this point in the lifecycle of the internet except through that kind of ideology. I'll gladly verbally bitch-slap a tankie for their pro-Putler bs, but the fact that an alt-right instance can (and probably does) exist is proof that true freedom of speech can exist only on a free and open platform like Lemmy. Fuck whatever Elon thought it was.
