What is the right way to get help with a Lemmy argument that has turned into harassment? (hackertalks.com)

Had a small discussion with a good beehaw community member in one community, it got contentious but otherwise civil, and they have now taken to taking that discussion out in response to comments I've made in other posts and communities.

I would consider this a form of harassment, following me around Lemmy and having a argument seems to hurt the overall discussion in other posts and communities with anger and abuse.

How do I get help in this matter?

Looks like the dude was banned from his instance.

Yes. That makes me sad actually. They've been participating pretty well for a year, sorry to see a member lose their way.

I'm actually all for spirited debate, and I think Lemmy is richer when all the different voices are heard, including negative voices. But in the right place. A specific discussion thread for a negative idea, great we can hash it out there. Lemmy is better for it.

Totally agree, but that person was unhinged! They showed their qualities when someone disagreed with them. It’s best lemmy doesn’t have to deal with that anymore.
