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.

i do the same.. i don't want to spend my time arguing with people who are just arguing in bad faith, and i don't want to spend time arguing with people who want to nitpick and tell me what i can and cannot say according to their own personal opinions

the internet is a big place with so many possibilities.. I'm not going to feel bad about blocking people at all

edit: having said that last bit i realize I'm guilty of nitpicking things that annoy me but i never tell anyone they cannot say this or that thing

yeah, blocking trolls is just essential mental self care
