I don't tweet; I weed.

There are those who think they can spew hatemongering and bullpucky without consequences. Left alone, they get more aggressive and more belligerent, and getting their bull horn cut off is a bit of a reality check, and trust, they need it.

I just search and nuke 'em. I hit report: Bye. Memes are best, because the twitter crawlers aren't as adept at picking up on them. Plus, if the text has a '?' or pretends to be 'joking' or starts with IMHO, Twitter will back off. But a suggestion of vengeance, or putting up a fight? Anything Q? Bye.

Another east spot is anti-vaxxies, or covid hoax statistic/claim: they get the hardest ban.

Pro-tip: A quick look to check if the followers and following are the same number, and if yes: don't get bothered, it's a russky bot. You can still nuke 'em, but better to move on to bush-whack the real humans leaving their hateful manure.

And because I am the worst, I always go back after a week or two, and I hit them again. And then one more time, and then they can't come back at all.

Another fun trick is if the are claiming to be an army vet, I send a linky to the 'stolen valor' people. Works like a charm and shuts those lying poseurs up fast.
