There is a recent desant of Russian trolls attacking Ukraine, with some of them even blatantly saying they support Putin and some others trying to put into doubt evidence of Russian crimes (kidnapping children etc.)

I have been banned from world by @[email protected] for calling one of them out. Also both of my comments, the one in the screenshot and another one where I explain to another user that he is arguing with paid Russian troll have been removed.

    Like I said, its not about having evidence or not. It’s a disingenuous way of harassing someone for having an opinion you disagree with.

    If the opinion is a rule-breaking one, then report it. If it isn’t, find a more constructive way to deal with your disagreement.

      Too many people (myself included) learned to focus on the person, instead of the idea.

      That leads to sophist arguments (“you’re a troll”), rather than searching for the truth that lies somewhere between different viewpoints.

      It’s not easy to keep in mind and to find ways to stay on the subject.

          No, if you see a nazi or troll call it out so that administration can remove it and keep the community healthy. Do not turn a blind eye to a fucking nazi bar.
