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?

on your instance you shud ban but

haha evil wins again!

Jokes aside, most offensive posts mostly originates from different instances with vastly different user culture. Downvoting posts works in the way that it lowers the visibility on your server but the offending poster might be on an instance that disregards downvotes so they "won't get the message".

It's much more effective to just block the poster, or the whole community if one so desires.
