Medium has a cool feature to nip disruptive comments in the bud. You can "hide" the response, which is an alternative to outright blocking the person who left it. It brings calm.
Hiding the response means casual readers won't see it and hence won't interact with it. This is useful if you want to tell someone off but you don't want to manage all your readers telling them off.
I often forget how to do this or I forget that the feature exists at all, so I'm documenting it for myself (and all of you) here.
Hide a response
Viewing your story on a desktop, when you click the comment icon, all responses pull up in a sidebar. Each response has a 3-dot menu with the option to "hide" it. This feature only seems to be available when the response is in the sidebar — not when you drill into its URL.
Find a previously hidden response
Pull up all responses in the sidebar, click the 3-dot menu at the top near the X, select "Manage responses"...
...and sort by "hidden" responses.
