The Internet will always have jerks.
Some people want to change the universe and make jerks disappear, but that's impossible.
The only world you have full control over is your internal world. Thus, the only one who can let others words hurt you is yourself.

That's true too. Someone can say something to you, but you don't need to say anything back. Moreover, often you can avoid putting yourself in a situation where someone would interact with you in the first place. Sure, you don't get to thumb your nose at someone you don't like if you quietly move to another room, but it's highly effective.
Probably the wrong metaphor.
For me, I know I share the fediverse with people who disagree with me and who are also dangerous if they realize it. I don't need to put myself in front of them and yell at them that they're wrong, I can just enjoy all the other parts of the fediverse including people I disagree with who are nonetheless in fact tolerant of other viewpoints.
