When I was first made a mod 2 years ago I banned a troll for bad behavior.

Since then they have created HUNDREDS of Lemmy accounts specifically attacking me.

We had to come up with new rules and bots to deal with their fragile psyche.

That's why I keep making new accounts too - not that I could follow someone around but so that they can't follow me. It's more of a privacy thing in my case though. They wont know if I've blocked them so even if they are following me around they'll just be shouting into the void and it never even reaches me. They're just wasting their time and I'm more than fine with that.
