Let’s say the troll mass reports people and says to mods he’s being slandered just to shut the evidence down hoping the mods don’t look at the incriminating links (to his own content) before banning the people calling him out. The troll posts actual slander on their victim’s posts, and if the victim has blocked them the troll posts the slander on their own profile while name dropping them and also replying to other people with slander about the person. If the victim calls the troll out the troll says the victim is slandering them and reports them for harassment.

Also, is there a name for when trolls do this?

    assuming this is on lemmy, if a user is causing that much disruption amd harassing people you could message the admin(s) of the user’s instance explaining the situation, provide evidence, and hope they’ll ban the user

    if the user is banned and creates another account, repeat

    if the user is on an instance that won’t ban them, contact the admins of other instances to try to have that instance deferated
