It’s certainly starting to show that some people with views who wasn’t here before are starting to arrive. Like people openly trolling, making racist and confrontational comments. Feels pretty bad, it was such a nice haven here.
Control measures are inevitable, like account length requirements, etc. I don’t see any way around that to have a usable usergenerated site. A lot of the previous reddit alternatives were full of racism because of who reddit pissed off on the site, but people like that need an audience and they don’t generate good content. The nerds who do always have to deal with trolls.
I hope it will be manageable. Heavy moderation is very time- and energy consuming and the people behind the instances today are already under big pressure to keep things in order.

But the real question is…
Which came first, the internet or the troll?
They grew together. Look up the origins of “spam” in university Nets.
