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?

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

The old internet didn't have an all encompassing issue with bots and bad actors trying to gain your trust, a public post history is basically the closest thing a person can have to a trustable identity online, it's not a perfect solution but it helps

I am not sure I follow. I don't see where trust comes in when you're just reading random people's posts. I guess if you wanted to do moderation or something. But I know a lot of people including myself purposely delete their reddit account and start over.

As for the moderation comment, I'm trying to mitigate this slightly by having an account with the same nick on 2-3 instances and modding myself on my communities on all of them. My hope is then if one of the identities goes away, I still have access from another one.
