I am implementing my zero-tolerance policy on my social media. If I come across an unhelpful or hurtful comment, I report it to the moderators and block the user. I prioritize maintaining a safe environment for myself. Being vulnerable does not imply that I am open to being mistreated or taken advantage of.
You must log in or register to comment.
There’s a difference between filtering out abusive behavior and avoiding differing opinions.
good for you, I should probably block people more often too. but I’d recommend against announcing something like that, trolls might see it as a challenge. you don’t want to attract more assholes.
I intend to attract and connect with more people who are like me, as described in this post. Not those trolls. Users with bad behavior will be held accountable.
yea I know that, but trolls love that. they can always make new accounts.
What kind of comments would qualify as “unhelpful”?
Is there a limit of blocked users on Lemmy?
I think, no.
Just FYI, reports aren’t anonymous on Lemmy. I’ve seen some mods that have banned users over what they felt was report abuse.
I dunno how often you’re running into these comments, so it may not be an issue for you, but just thought I’d make sure you were aware of that, in case you’re in a community with hypersensitive mods.

Screw you friend / ma’am
what other platforms are you using and what do you get out of them?
Know your biases… This is how you build an echochamber
Yeah, because blocking someone insulting you is building an echo chamber. 🙄
Blocking someone for harassment = protecting your mental space.
Reporting people who are unhelpful, though?
