A complement to “don’t feed the trolls” is “what we pay attention to grows,” which I first encountered while reading adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy.
In turning attention away from trolls, we can turn it toward the practices of care through which we build resilient communities able to guide change.
@FromTheRostra hah. i got as far as "it's not enough to run away from something, you also need to have a destination" but never thought to apply it to "don't feed the trolls"!
