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 think that the moderators should do this more actively. I haven't been here for to long, but already saw a lot of trolling/Sealioning. Sometimes it gets really annoying.

    I do think it would be good to have a policy to ban users who show a pattern of not engaging constructively.

    We have been banning liberals liberally. Some trolls are good at their job and are able to bait ten or so replies with low effort regurgitation of PragerU level talking points before getting reported.

    Could we ban accounts under like a month old and/or with no post history? I wonder how many that would stop
