    When you notice people from a specific instance being trolly, ban the entire instance. Also don’t feel afraid to just block someone acting up. You will find it surprisingly cathartic.

      That’s definitely heavy handed, but sometimes definitely necessary. There’s some big troll instances out there, and once they’re blocked Lemmy gets a lot nicer.

      I do suggest with starting individually, keeping a mental note of the instance. Then you are more sure when you’re like “Damn 10x the ones are from foo.bar, guess it’s time”

    What do you mean with trolls? I mean we have some memelords here and some argumentative people. But I don’t see trolling that often.

    Generally, stick with communities that have a good atmosphere.

      People seem to have forgotten this is not /c/nostupidquestions or a place to get always helpful advice and definitely is not where people should expect wisdom to be dispensed. In fact, it breaks the rules of this community (see rule #5).

      I would say this is the best advice here. Upvote from me!
