Exercise your moderation powers and ban and/or shadowban them. Online groups have moderation tools, even 4chan has moderators who step in when Doxxers show up.
Go on, try to advocate for violence here on Hacker News. You'll get [flagged] pretty quickly. That's why moderators exist.
I get that its against your philosophy to use moderation tools on the internet. But its a necessary evil. You must enforce the cultural identity of the groups you lead, lest they turn into online hate groups rather quickly.
It happens even to the best of us. Civil Rights era protesters had to deal with it. BLM had to deal with it today. Etc. etc. Its well known.
