Ah, I DO engage - sometimes the behavior is reportable and I’ll downvote and ignore, but when someone is following the rules yet still being a jerk, I’ll poke fun or something.
If someone is being hateful and I block them (because the pig would enjoy a fight), others may see a hateful message.
If someone is being hateful and I reply with love or jokes, others will see hate AND pushback. Hopefully that makes Lemmy feel more welcoming ‘n’ just better overall.

I can agree with not engaging with hate and reporting it as encountered.
