If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that's it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn't morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

blocking/not blocking doesnt 'allow' them anything cept maybe free rent in your brain... doesnt affect them at all.

Reply to their remark with a warning for other users then block them.

Ignore it. It is really that simple. Like what are you going to do?

Get into arguments because someone disagrees with you on the internet? LOL

Life is already short enough as it is.

Open hostility. Anywhere nazis are welcome, no one else is.

Doxx them.

What, that isn't allowed? Well neither is white supremacist hate speech. Fuck that trash.

Block users and instances is the only way.
