=== What is your reply strategy?
People get kind of passionate sometimes about politics. And some of them might also be just malicious wumaos, although it is generally not possible to distinguish between them.
In order to not waste too much time on those, I use the following strategy:
If the original thread post is not very interesting, I try to parse it quickly and reply once, always <<better-to-do,linking to the FAQ>>, and then unfollow.
I then do my best to never read the inevitable reply again. An interesting reply never follows from a non-interesting original post.
If the user keeps generating notifications, warning + temporary block.
If the post is outright useless and offensive, direct user block, with a link to the link:CONTRIBUTING.md[].
I have also been pointed out to the following reply strategy by C.K. Hung which might be of interest: https://ckhung0.blogspot.com/2017/07/50-cents-party.html
