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?

You can run your own instance or join an instance that tolerates that speech, and federate with other instances that tolerate it. So, the "platform" is not supressing you one bit. Go forth, and be an asshole if you wish.

However, administrators and users on other instances also have the freedom to participate without being forced to listen to assholes ad nauseum. "Free Speech" does not mean "Free (from the consequences of your) Speech" or that other people should be forced to listen to you.
