    Let them ban anyone they don’t like from their instance. Also, report or ban them when they abuse others on other instances. If it is a self-inflicted isolation, it will be fairly earned.

    Self-defense is a universal right. Those who attempt to take away that right unavoidably become representatives of fascism. You never silence a voice that argues self-defense, you defeat its arguments (objectively and thoroughly).

    Moving forward tentatively, it’s not about disengaging from a conflict. One needs to take a step back, use a method to clear their mind and view the situation without emotional attachment. Then attempt to solve the conflict into a acceptable or at least tolerable outcome. A conflict left unresolved will only fester into aggression and violence.

    Simply moving on and allowing a perceived slight go unresolved does not work unless the objective solution found is to move on.

    While the loss of a user is sad, people come and go. The better solution is to use the situation and apply the proper reports against those who target and abuse other users.

      Tools like raising awareness of the behavior of a community and its admins?

        I considered more in the vein of reporting the specific posts in question on their respective instances. Or using mod tools where available to ban problematic users from your own instances and communities.

        But if you think it works, any solution you find should be sought. Even if it doesn’t lead to the expected results, fighting for a fairer environment is rarely a wrong thing to do.
