Over on the bird site, the worst I got trolled in the last year was when I unfollowed and muted a woman for spamming a thread about covid with lies about the supposed dangers of the covid vaccine. She took umbrage and sicked all her followers on me. I guess it got worse after I blocked her, but I'm uncertain about that because I blocked all her followers as well.

No one is harmed by a mute or even a block. It's not like burning crosses on someone's lawn. It's just me saying that I'm tired.
