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?

    Something I enjoyed is how, during the rise of /r/transcribersofreddit transcribing image content into a comment, because of their standardised formatting, people often assumed they were a bot, so would comment “Good bot”.

    However, they were human posters, and this was often revealed by another bot that would look out for “good bot”/“bad bot” votes on (seemingly) human posts and say “are you sure [user] is a bot? Because I’m 97.84% sure they’re not”.

    Eventually, it was common to see people replying to the image transcribers’ comments with “Good human.” and that always made me smile.
