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?

Typically assholes like to be in an echochamber and won't stay in a community where they get downvoted and reported. Just downvote asshole posts and they'll naturally leave to an instance that allows assholes.

If that were true, they'd be happy staying in voat or truthsocial for example.

Voat was shut down by admins in 2020.

All of the assholes moved to gab, telegram, (back) to twitter, and on tiktok.

Until those sites go down, there's little worry (I hope)

It is dangerous to throw stones in a glass house.
