what's the asshole mitigation plan? - Lemmy.world

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?

Individual instances will have to moderate themselves. If they become chaotic, other instances should unmoderate them. But as users, you should also subscribe to communities you think are behaving well and block users/communities that are not.

Also, I have seen some users who are "grabbing" as many communities as possible, namely @[email protected]. Dude is moderating 60 communities, in an instance that started a few days ago.. He is not building the communities, he is just power tripping it seems. @ruud@[email protected], something might have to be done about that in the future. I suggest some sort of "requestcommunity", in which you can apply to become the mod of said community, if community is being badly run (or not run at all).

There should be a limit on how many communities you can create in a given time span

Yes, I thought of that, but then I am sure they would just create alt accounts to create as many communities as possible. I think the requesting of communities is still the best way. If one wants to be the mod of a community that already has a mod who is moding 50 other communities and is not doing jackshit..
