The platform seems to be converging on a Reddit-like culture complete with arguments, rage bait and trolling as the normies pour in.

I wish there was a way to identify and fully block out bad faith actors.
You can block users; what else do you mean?
On reddit, before they fucked the api, you could use third party tools to identify and tag users that were known trolls, and even have a good chance of identifying ban evaders.
Automod could filter out a lot of trolls and assholes just by fifteen minutes of typing, so users never had to see the worst stuff, even when the trolls weren’t identified.
Blocking after the jerks jerk is a slow whack-a-mole process
My guess is they mean doing it at scale. Some sort of registry or something so that you don’t habe to individually block everyone. At least, that’s what I’ve been wondering myself. Some sort of “well, I trust Billy and Janet so if they block someone they’re automatically blocked for me too” style system.
I can’t see how to make it practical or scaleable but something along those lines.

And sew the star somewhere, like on their chest…
Lile this…
There’s an interesting good faith argument to be had about how to separate russian shills, trolls etc from people with whom you disagree but are worth engaging with. And then there’s the “WELL THAT’S JUST LIKE NAZI GERMANY WHY DONT WE PUT STARS ON THEM TOO!” silliness.

I wrote something so I’m triggered?
Neat.

I must not know what triggered means.
But holy shit, your comment history is just you being a whiny troll!
You clearly lead a wonderful, fulfilling life.
Have a good night, hope things get better for you.
