Doxx them.
What, that isn't allowed? Well neither is white supremacist hate speech. Fuck that trash.

Stop calling yourself leftist you hateful fuck.
I tend to not reply because that will just draw more attention to them. I will post a separate top level comment rebutting their statements without referring to them.
That's a good strategy, thanks.
Ignore them, then vote accordingly. Nothing you or I say will have any effect
There's a lot of other good suggestions here, so I'll just ask, what outcome are you hoping to achieve?
My conscience. assuaged.
If that's the case, I'd recommend treating them like spam: reply and you'll get a lot more.
Mostly, it's a huge emotional and time investment if you want to change someone's behavior and from what I gather, it's a one on one type of thing and really hard. If you want to stop them from interacting negatively with others, your best action would be to report them.
If you're upset and want to vent, then engaging will be fun for a while, but mostly futile in terms of behaviour adjustments.

i find this very satisfying: gently disagreeing with them via a short single positive message like "gay people do deserve respect", then letting them throw a very lengthy, time-invested tantrum before gently and completely disagreeing with their comment with another short sentence, over and over until they get tired.
i find that both very funny and I'm putting out positive messages that negate their bigotry without too much time or effort.
that's just if you have the time and inclination to engage, you aren't morally obligated to subject yourself to abusive behavior.
if it's real bad, they're probably violating a rule, and reporting them will get them banned

Report their comments, most instances will ban them unless they comment on a Nazi instance in which case good riddance.
