There’s no real algorithm here - how are we “feeding” anything? Failure to check the pollution of shared communal spaces leads to tragedy of the commons and benefits nothing. It’s why I also don’t block them.
I’ve been online since the Usenet and BBS days, “don’t feed the trolls” sounds great but never actually does anything except cede shared spaces to the trolls.
He provokes you, you respond, people respond to you, conversation is spurred in exactly the way UniversalMonk wants. You’re literally making his information warfare successful.
That’s like saying you shouldn’t call out antivax lies because it only attracts attention to them. Calling out BS doesn’t make the BS more attractive or accepted.
Which of us has had comments and posts removed for trolling/lack of civility? Which of us has had a community ban for same? Or inappropriate DMs? I mean you’ve left quite the trail behind you.
And yet I’m still here. And still posting. And I’ve never been in trouble for, nor have I sent, inappropriate DM’s.
LOTS of people in this community have had comments removed for trolling and lack of civility. In fact, many of the removed comments were against me.
Does that mean they are trolls too? Seems like if I were a real troll, then I would be permabanned from the community or the instance, but I guess the mods don’t think that. So here I am.
You know why? Because I’m not a troll. Thank you! :)
And for the rest of it, a troll is someone who engages in trolling, e.g. concern trolling, lack of civility, sealioning, spam, violating community rules. So basically your entire resume as it were
lolololol I’ve never been to that community, never heard of it, and didn’t even know about that ban until you just posted that graphic.
Actually sounds like the person who created that is trolling, is obsessed with me, and did all that just so they could drop that graphic and accuse me of trolling.
Funny how that works tho. Right?! A community I didn’t even know existed, mysteriously bans me, doesn’t even notify me, and all for some “unacceptable DM.” Hmmm, now I wonder, what .ca user would have went to all that trouble?! Any ideas?!
Let me think, hmmmm, who would have done that? A .ca user… Who really really wants to win every argument… who could that be?! LMAO
And I’m still here, right now. Still posting. And still not going to that weird community you posted, not even to see what is. LMAO
Please post some more graphics that I’ll laugh off and ignore. I know ya have some more! I love how you look around and go to all the trouble to do that thinking it’s some big “gotcha” moment. When really it’s laughable. :)
So now you’re just going straight into full delusion? You did notice I’m on .ee and not .ca right? And with as fervently as you’ve linked to your mentions in the modlog, everyone is supposed to believe you weren’t aware of a full community ban? (Btw, communities don’t notify you of bans or any mod actions, so not even sure why you think that’s a thing?)
I didn’t say it was you. Why do you think that posting a pic of me being banned from a place I’ve never been to, and never even heard of, would be some big gotcha moment?! If I’ve never been there, why would I care about being banned from there? Why would anyone care?! lol
How would I be “aware” of that community ban, if I didn’t even know they existed?! lmao Still no proof that I’m a troll. Because I’m not. Thanks friend! :)
Yep, I understand this. I mean, just look at how mean and hateful people in this community are. People are losing their minds this election. lol
<person working to literally fan the flames of discord and actively trolling for two months>: Hmm, how did politics get so broken?!
Stop responding. Downvote. Move on.
This you? https://lemmy.world/comment/12929208
Yes. This guy posts every 17 minutes on average, 24/7, to sway the election for Trump. Don’t feed him.

Fair point.
Who’s been actively trolling for two months?
Funny how some people automatically assume that posting stuff others don’t like, is “trolling.”
And then they wonder how did politics get so broken?! Thanks, friend! :)
