Healthy online communities are those that make it clear "it's no fun to be a troll here" from the very beginning.

it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.

This has really been the norm across the great majority of the online communities I’ve participated in over many years. Until the Twitter acquisition, places online that actually *encouraged* bad faith participation were something you had to intentionally seek out.

Having barely any moderation PLUS the ability to pay to put your messages on top is just an absolutely untenable combination for the long term health of an online community. Most regular people don’t like being trolled, insulted, or regularly exposed to hate speech.
