Please block trolls, folks. If we don’t, they just keep haunting decent people’s posts and messing with our momentum to get things done.
Pushing anti-democratic talking points that could have aired on RT? Telling you voting doesn’t matter, no progress happens, that both parties are the same or barely different? Just block that noise.
If anyone needs help, happy to oblige. If you can’t tell them from Tucker Carlson, there’s a reason for that.
@TonyStark Today started out blocking a few trolls, and ended up importing block lists from @oliphant en masse. With my tiny solo instance, that took a good while.
OTOH, I included "Die, Nazi scum." multiple times through the reporting and blocking process up the point that Oliphant pinged me. So there is that.

@TonyStark @oliphant I had it all today... N-words, K-words, trans- and homophobic memes and insults. Dozens of accounts all of a sudden.
It's my fault for not securing my instance, but then I'm the only user so the only person who had to suffer.
There really is something to be said for solo instances.
Tony, Pretty Much
