I don't know about vivaldi.net but here on mastodon.social we got a rule against harassment. Rule number #4.
Your instance's rule number #4 also is against harassment.
I'm not recommending you to report users, I don't like doing it either...I usually prefer talking to users but with the rise of ReplyGuys I'm lately more cautious.
Maybe we should not accuse them of doing something bad. Instead offer them help to blur plate...
What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries
1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy
#Pachli 2.10.0 is rolling out now, with new conversation account filters to deal with #harassment.
Just like notification filters you can control what happens when accounts start a conversation with you.
No longer want to see DMs from accounts you don't follow? You can hide them, or put them behind a warning. Ditto for new accounts that might only have been created to harass you.
This, and other changes are described in https://pachli.app/pachli/2025/02/28/2.10.0-release.html
…Few records in the #HUD system are redacted or anonymized, & many contain deeply personal material about those who have alleged or been accused of housing #discrimination. #DomesticViolence case files can list addresses to which survivors have relocated for their #safety. #Harassment cases can include detailed descriptions of instances of #SexualAssault. #Disability cases can include detailed #medical records.
Rolling out in #Pachli Current now; anti #harassment conversation account filters.
Just like notification filters you can control what happens when accounts start a conversation / direct message with you.
No longer want to see DMs from accounts you don't follow? You can hide them, or put them behind a warning. Ditto for new accounts that might only have been created to harass you.
