   Here's a super important recommendation for all the cool people coming over from the #TwitterMigration - for the *most* part, there aren't (as far as I can see) as widespread problems with white supremacists, nazis, far-right trolls, incels, and assorted skips, skags, and scallywags as there are on Twitter/Fb/etc. BUT - they are still here!

   HOWEVER, whereas on Twitter, engaging with these various numskulls, nitwits, and nincompoops is a "great" way to get engagement (what with the rage-baiting, hate-clicks, pile-ons etc), it's far less important (and may be counterproductive) here! If some fuckhead right wing fuck jumps in your mentions saying things about "Black-on-Black Crime™" or "groomers," or starting every sentence with "females," you can just block them! Don't even engage! Just report and block their bitch-asses!

   Remember - there is nothing on earth you can say to libcuckkiller1488 or KanyeWasRight6969 that is going to be in any way productive! Just block, report, and move on!

     @KFuentesGeorge As an instance mod, cosigning the "report and block" suggestion. The trolls will be blocked at the server level, and if their own instances seems to produce nothing but trolls, they will be defederated. And if your instance isn't handling things the way you want, find a new one.

     Unlike Twitter, Mastodon has effective ways of dealing with this crap.
