That is terrible advice. Many (including me and my wife) have already tried that, and none have succeeded. As these bullies told me and hundreds of others, "don't struggle and complain, that will just make it worse for you". Your only option is to leave, as thousands have done. Many of us are now on Blurt.blog where we already have accounts, wallets, and money. All we have to do is log in with our posting key which we already have. There are no downvotes or bullies on Blurt because it is not possible there.
Being a pacifist and silent is what they want. If you are loud, people notice what the bullies are doing. If the targets are quiet, the bullies continue to hurt many people without any negative public pressure. This allows them to continue to destroy their submissive victims.
@Hakeke is already posting on Blurt, which is wise, because their days of posting on Hive are over.
