Being an ally can take many forms online. One of the roles of an ally is to ensure that abusers and bullies are held accountable for their behavior. If you see someone threatening or harrassing one of your connections, report the post immediately and let the victim of the abuse know you’ve done so. You don’t have to confront a bully directly, though doing so can be a powerful display of solidarity. Remember, it is incumbent upon allies to use our privilege in support of others.
