As we start to see more users join, it's inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed.

Best just to scroll past them. They want to spark unwinnable arguments and rack up negative rep. If something seems absurdly ridiculous or inciteful, just move on. It's not even worth down voting.

Thanks, I'll give that a read!

E: oh, and it's not the mundane blocks I mean, it's stuff like casual sexism or ableism that some might not consider "serious", but that's a whole other conversation for another time haha

Oh now I understand what you meant, no I consider both to be bad. Both don't belong here, as well as any other -ism with bad intent. I believe that at the moment reporting the really serious stuff is the important thing to do and as the site grows, and we get more moderators so we don't overload 1-2 people with reports, I wouldn't see any reason not to report the less "serious" stuff.

Yeah, I think more people getting and dealing with the reports would definitely help, not just them in dealing with it, but also us users, in reducing the anxiety/guilt of reporting and "creating" work for someone else who is already swamped (even if rationally I know it's the bigots' causing the extra work, not those reporting them).

But hey, it's all still new and growing so no pressure on anyone, I don't doubt things will eventually get resolved in a way that works for most people involved (can never please everyone, and that's ok!).
