what's the asshole mitigation plan? (self.lemmyworld)

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 don't think mastodon has had this issue and it has been a while. Since we are not on Twitter, you can just block whoever is an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Yup. Then it doesn't hurt the asshole because they can just move to a different instance with like-minded people, which is not a problem because of blocking instances!

This is my plan. I have already blocked some nsfw instances so you can block more than just users as well.

Yeah, it's a beautiful system. When all the banned Twitter Nazis moved to gab and then gab moved to Mastodon everyone immediately defedded them, it's like having a pre-curated blocklist of most of the worst people on the platform
