The best thing to do for this community is to not feed the trolls

3 years ago by TendieMaster69 to c/main

It can be really frustrating if you're trying to have a discussion online and someone derails it with rude or false comments. Internet trolls try to cause trouble on social media sites and forums by posting offensive messages or spreading...

Trolls love attention, don't give it to them. Downvote and carry on is the best thing anyone can do for them self and others. Engaging in trolls is all they want and they get enjoyment and satisfaction and happiness from it, don't give them what they want.

I have noticed several concern tolls specifically on sh.itjust.works lately which is a very interesting phenomenon. Detailed reading for anyone interested in how to spot them: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Concern_troll

I'm glad to be a part of this community, thanks everyone for being here and being active.

The fact that we have trolls here should be a good sign to the mods, growing pains of a community that's picking up steam. This is the next evolution of Reddit, stand strong y'all

I think at this point I kind of fit some of those talking points, I'm new, haven't commented except for tonight when I've finally had time. Who knows what my actual spelling that gets posted looks like, I just want to interact and have fun. The other place was so dark, gloomy, and made me feel like poop. I'm trying to change that here

It doesn't matter how often we tell people not to feed the trolls, there's always someone who feeds even the most obvious troll. :(
