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?

It's a reference to when AOL started. Every previous year, new students got online from their university around September. Some behaved badly, but the numbers were small enough that they could be educated on 'netiquette'.

When AOL started, suddenly there were too many newcomers, and the influx of rudeness never stopped.

I guess also students are more receptive to learning new rules than the average AOL user.
