I cannot see any Lemmy account which the writer of the removed comment could possibly be referring to.

Hypothetically, if there were a user whom all but the admins/mods could conclude to be a troll, all users could individually block said hypothetical troll and advocate for blocking of accounts that come across at first glance, second glance, and even ten hundredth glance to seem to be trolls. This would allow the users to avoid the frustrations wrought by the hypothetical troll as well as prevent users from incriminating themselves within the admins’ and mods’ rules by not interacting with nor even referring to the aforementioned hypothetical troll specifically.

This is all purely hypothetical of course.

Again, I cannot see any Lemmy account which the writer of the removed comment could possibly be referring to.

However, I’m sure the admins/mods couldn’t knock you for gracefully advocating for wariness of nonspecific trolls in general if you happen upon a situation in which you think that warning may be particularly helpful.

You can also just block users whom you get bad vibes from for whatever reason, whether you believe them to be genuine or maliciously disingenuous.

Do admins have access to a tally of how many users have blocked a given account? This may give them an indication of whom the user masses consider to be problematic accounts.

Get Glomph'd on! Thankfully I've never met someone who actually wants people to refer to them as dragonkin outside of FFXIV roleplay servers.

Well, that certainly is one of the paragraphs of all time.

It’s crazy what people make a drama about not being able to harass someone who doesn’t use he, she or they
