I am implementing my zero-tolerance policy
I am implementing my zero-tolerance policy on my social media. If I come across an unhelpful or hurtful comment, I report it to the moderators and block the user. I prioritize maintaining a safe environment for myself. Being vulnerable does not imply that I am open to being mistreated or taken advantage of.
Sorry about the downvotes OP. Good for you! Remember, this is social media; you aren't going to lose out by not seeing some users or comments. Hope your lemmy experience is better :D
what other platforms are you using and what do you get out of them?
Just FYI, reports aren't anonymous on Lemmy. I've seen some mods that have banned users over what they felt was report abuse.
I dunno how often you're running into these comments, so it may not be an issue for you, but just thought I'd make sure you were aware of that, in case you're in a community with hypersensitive mods.
Also, some instances managed for one user can see all reports about them. Just thought you should know this, OP.
good for you, I should probably block people more often too. but I'd recommend against announcing something like that, trolls might see it as a challenge. you don't want to attract more assholes.
I intend to attract and connect with more people who are like me, as described in this post. Not those trolls. Users with bad behavior will be held accountable.
yea I know that, but trolls love that. they can always make new accounts.
There’s a difference between filtering out abusive behavior and avoiding differing opinions.
Good on you!
We all need to block and filter more quickly.
Do me too! Me too!
Is there a limit of blocked users on Lemmy?
I think, no.
If you're on xitter, most users are toxic and toxicity is incentivised because engagement is money.
If prioritising your mental health, taking a break from ones like X and Facebook help.
Blocking negative content and hope it becomes wholesome can be exhausting and fruitless as it will reccomend it, regardless.
I personally found regularly scrubbing contacts that are not meaningful until you can take breaks more and more helps. Eventually, I refused to allow it my time or to cost my mental health so no longer use it. For me, the cost was greater than the benefit.
What kind of comments would qualify as "unhelpful"?
