@gothnbass It does though? I've had *excellent* results from "don't feed the trolls". It's not foolproof but it sure is a good idea. @marcan @gothnbass don't feed the trolls doesn't work for random harassment, but for targeted things from a small group of people it generally does |
@marcan
True.
Unfortunately, "don't feed the trolls" has been proven not to work.
OK, better idea: a bot that does the grunt-work of showing them (and the audience) that this shit is socially unacceptable. Bonus points if it comes across as somebody whose opinion they respect.
