They did a study around the 2020 elections and have found the following to work with trolls:
Respond once with the facts (if you must), and then walk away. I have found Lemmy not needing that most of the time, just downvoting seems to work. But if you’re on the place that shall not be named, this works.
Thanks, I didn’t realize that worked here. But I meant tagging a user as awesome or a troll or whatever. That way, when you kind of remember seeing the name and they seem like they’re trolling, I can tell right away if I’ve had previous interactions with them. RES was awesome for that.
Ah that makes sense. That would be nifty. Because my block list these days is based on “this person said fucked up shit and i vaguely remember them saying more fucked up shit a while ago but cant fully remember if its them”

I wish lemmy had the feature where you can mute all replies to a comment.
Yes, that and the tagging of users.
Also you can tag users.

Exaxtly that, I just don’t have the bandwidth.
With Boost for Lemmy you can tag people atleast.
