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?

What does “the eternal September” mean?

I think it’s just a reference to the old Usenet days in the 90s when it became popular and a flood of new users came in and “ruined” it

If a server admin turns out to be a giant asshole (present company excepted, of course), is there a way to migrate your identity to another instance?

If a server admin gets hit by a bus and their instance goes away, do all the users just cease to exist?

Why do people care about preserving their “identity” and posts so much? This was never a thing in the old internet.

I don’t understand either. Not having any “social media features” like a profile site or “karma” is a big plus for me. I use my account for access and saving links, that’s all I expect.
