We have added a clarification to rule number one in the sidebar: "Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on."
Research shows that disengaging from antisocial behavior is the best way to minimize and eliminate it. It is also the best choice for personal mental health. Lemmy provides a functionality to "block" (mute) users who are not contributing to your positive experience of the platform. In addition to reporting (and not responding to) rule breaking content, the community mods encourage you to use Lemmy's tools to curate the best, most healthful experience. Enjoy!
