What about using "block" and "spam" reporting? Are enough people using these features?

  We've gotten off track. I was referring to my interactions with people IRL and the joke about "throttling" was just playing of the parent comment. I'm not actually considering violence, just sick of people telling me "it's no big deal" when for me, it's a VERY big deal.

    IRL makes sense. My [clearly wrong] assumption was that we're referring to online discussions.

    Understandably, as you are in a risky position. But that doesn't mean everybody else is to. Nor does it mean that panic will do any good.

  I think relying on the good will of the masses as volunteers is like bringing a knife to a gun-fight. The opposing side does disinformation for profit[1] and has a budget for it. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22526530 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22526530
