If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that's it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn't morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

Publicly denounce them, then block them.

Reinforces to the public at large that they are unacceptable, and removes their agency to engage you.

i block those fools, and the community in conservatives, some of them are bots too. theres a reason they are here, banned from reddit for the same thing.

Ignore it. It is really that simple. Like what are you going to do?

Get into arguments because someone disagrees with you on the internet? LOL

Life is already short enough as it is.

Reply to their remark with a warning for other users then block them.

i just like to tell them all the horrible ways they should die. it's about as effective as anything else (not at all)

blocking/not blocking doesnt 'allow' them anything cept maybe free rent in your brain... doesnt affect them at all.

i tend to ignore them. my blocklist is very small

Open hostility. Anywhere nazis are welcome, no one else is.
