So, I started blocking accounts that don’t engage with the stuff I post and just make personal attacks. After blocking these handful of accounts all the harassment stopped entirely. Vast majority of people on the lemmyverse are across different instances aren’t attacking other people. There are just a handful of really active trolls out there, and I think the best policy might be to just start blocking them when we see them.
Not me, I report at the slightest whiff of troll/liberalism
Report first, then engage! 😁
