Social Media Trolls

Hello Everyone,

We see trolls so much on social media so just wondering how everyone deals with them. Ignore them? Block? Hide their posts/messages? What’s your go to action for those folks? Would love to hear some different perspectives on this.

    @ShanyahT I’ve approached it a few different ways myself! If they are posting a few times, I would hide their posts. If they are posting a ton, I would block them. I try to avoid blocking as much as possible because at times trolls will see you blocked them and then make more accounts. I would also report them!
