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?

I know it is part of the Fediverse, but I wish bots were a not thing or allowed. I know they are not 'assholes' but I just think they take away from having real human connections.

I think we just collectively need to learn how to act better.

Choose not to respond when people are agressively onesided, you won't be changing their minds.

We cannot control assholes or trolls, but we can control our behaviors. Stay kind as long as possible, disengage when you can't. Don't let these idiots turn YOU into an asshole.

I loved a good haiku bot. Some places even had Wikipedia bot. But yes, bot users are not cool on the whole.

Sure, some were welcome and cute, but I just find automated responses to be antithetical to online discussion boards.
