You should just do what I do and block lemmygrad. I don't see authoritarian drivel, and neither should you!

I'm trying to piece together your suggestion, but I'm not sure about "lemmygrad"? Is that a reference to the server this was posted on, the server the OP is from, or something else I'm missing?

The server the poster is from, and their comments are hosted. Authoritarians that like the color red congregate there, and with them comes bad faith arguments and consternation. Depending on your browser/app you can ban their instance from reaching you.

Gotcha. I haven't blocked a whole instance before, but yeah I'm starting to consider it. I've noticed a few different nicks posting constant trash lately -- most of them get downvoted pretty quickly but a few of them get some traction, and I guess that's WHY these things keep getting posted.
