It's amazing what an incredible filter "you have to use plan 9" is for things. I have been doing public plan 9 services on and off for a long time, and although I'm sure someone will be a jerk eventually, I have yet to see any deliberately malicious behavior. On the grid right now, things are pretty open and the user community is all cooperative and constructive. So far as I can tell, the venn diagram of "people looking for trolling and malicious lulz" and "people interested in using plan 9" has approximately zero overlap.

That's an awful lot like security-by-obscurity.

In fact, I'm fairly confident it's pretty much the same exact thing.

If you don't build a system with defences against abuse, you will see abuse. It's a matter of scale and time.

The internet worked fine that way too, until it was more widely adopted.

As long as Plan9 remains niche enough, that approach might work.
