There is a comprehensive guide at this Cancelled Resources page. Highlights are posted below with permission from the author.

• Prevention

  Remove identifying information about yourself from bios, about pages and posts. This information can include but is not limited to wallet names, addresses, pronouns, workplace information, and sexual orientations.

• Prevention

  Remove content warning/"trigger" lists from easily accessible bios, link aggregates or other user descriptions. A growing number of trolls and payment processors actively use these content warnings as keywords (such as "incest" or "non-con") as a way to find new targets.

• Prevention

  Consider migrating text posts, sensitive or otherwise, to a platform that has more fine-grained privacy controls or a paywall. Twitter and Tumblr are unique in that there is a recognized culture of "anti-ship"/"anti" trolls that actively search for new targets. Moving away from these two sites alone, if possible, will greatly reduce risk of being dogpiled.

  If instant messaging platforms like Discord are mission critical for you, consider Matrix, Revolt and IRC as alternatives.

• Site

  Create a personal website. For extensive tips, practical and policy-wise, please visit our general resources page.
