My sisters in tech, please help. Is there something that can be done about scrotes who post hateful comments about women on insta or other social media other than individually blocking them?
Like us there a way to blanket-ban all accounts that comment certain phrases? Not sure how exactly it would work but if something like that existed it would make a lot of women's online experiences much better.
OMG thank you for bringing this up! There are so many disgusting Men in the comments of Instagram reels. I saw a Reddit post a while ago, where a Woman saw horrific Instagram reel comments from a Man, she then found the contact of his wife, this Man was a doctor or therapist (I’m not to sure) . She sent the screen shots of these Instagram reel comments to his wife and his work place.
I do think more women should screenshot this IG reel comments and find these Men’s workplaces / spouses / parents and send it over to them. They need to be held accountable.
If you long-click on a reel on instagram, there's an option to 'stop showing me post like this' and then you can ban certain words.
I do reccommend all Women to just start reporting these accounts + blocking + blocking certain words from coming up.
Screenshot and keep them under a file for each person. I regret not doing it in the past.
Also you can ban certain words
You can file a report for stalking. Other than that, ignore it. Don't delete, don't reply, act like they don't exist.
I believe Twitter/X lets you block certain hashtags and words so you can avoid their nonsense. There was discussion about Elon enabling blocking entire countries too
I wish there was a way to mass-report such people. I specifically made a comment on insta about a topic that is really blowing up right now where I live and there is a wave of scrotes replying to it. I blocked as many as I could and reported any ones who wrote particularly abusive stuff but then I got tired.
