@Jessicacrets@mastodon.xyz i mean, i think the issue here is the response of "well it's a dick move, but we won't do anything about it".
screenshot dunking is indeed not good, but for me at least, the inclusion of username - especially username that is not a tag, so no chance to offer rebuttal - is used mainly as a signal for "go harass this person specifically". that level of identification elevates it from a dick move into, well, something more.

@Jessicacrets@mastodon.xyz it's also why "just block them" is such a weak answer, if you view it as identifying an individual for the audience to specifically target. sure, you can block one person. but you have to swat down all they're trying to send to you one by one.
it's why also people are dissatisfied with that "ugh, he's just an asshole, get over it and block him" from the mod as well. it's a space where acknowledgement of concerns is really needed.
