I monitored the Bad Place for many years (without signing in or interacting), and I learned a lot from watching a couple of folks who specialize in anti-troll tactics. No engaging, just pitch trolls out the airlock on sight. Occasionally screenshot the post in order to mock it publicly. As a sensitive person who usually listens to other arguments, I found that troll points were tiresomely identical. No time for that, I want to have real convos about good things.
@westerling @piepants @gavi Yup, that is 1000% my MO.
I am too old, too tired, too few spoons to spend my time having bad faith discussions. I would so much rather reserve my energy for people who are authentic and want the discussion. Not ppl who get their rocks off by being shitheads online (or bots).
I love hearing a well-reasoned, thought out opinion, with logic to back it up.
