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).

@ruud - LemmyWorld

Admin of a lot of fediverse servers, among which the .world ones: - lemmy.world - mastodon.world - calckey.world You can find me on these servers as @ruud I receive a lot of messages, direct and mentions. I can’t reply to them all. If you have an issue, please e-mail at [email protected]

Will make a rule limiting number of communities per moderator or created per week or something like that. On the to do list.
Thank you!
