Amazing how we’ve gone from “Don’t feed the trolls” to social media developing all of their algorithms to not only feed them but force them into your kitchen
If Trump doesn't want to debate against Harris again, and ducked out on a Sixty Minutes debate against her too, then why should we debate any of his fanatics?
I used to think this. Now I realize it's easier to limit the trolls exposure by not interacting and blocking. Interaction means more people see the troll, not that more people see your argument.
Ok. I may be to old for this but back on the old days it was " don't feed the Trolls "
If some one wants to debate you the trolling aspect is out.
Trolls come in, make a comment maybe reply once or twice and are gone.
That's how it used to be at least 🤷
trolls showed up for a comment or two and stirred shit for the lols, they riled ppl up and had a laugh and moved on
neo-trolls will die on any random hill and rope u into bad faith debates, it's still about riling you up but not even about the lols anymore, it's murder-suicide, nobody wins, no lols
It seems like they are all ops now. Not necessarily organized or anything, but they think they are accomplishing some goal by "triggering the libs" or whatever they think they are doing. It's just weird and stupid. It's best to just cut them off.
If you block someone, all of their comments under your post are hidden, and only people who have those same comments in their notifs can see them, but they sort of exist detached from any post. It's not exactly like deleting but you can make the comments go away.
its fear of being exposed that prevents trump from a second debate he was pushing biden for a second debate but one and done with kamala cause she made him look like a clown to which he is
It’s not up to Kamala to win this election. It’s up to us, the voters. All of us know that we have a close tough race ahead. The question is, are you ready to help defeat Donald Trump?
My reaction is always, if being a coward is how you define someone who never has to listen to you again....and by then they're already blocked and forgot.
The internet isn't a wild west street where anyone can challenge you to a gunfight anytime. And even the ww wasn't really like that
IRL, if a rando comes up to you and demands a discussion with you, you have the right to ignore him.
Internet is no different. You cannot be forced into a debate without your consent. You can make statements without having to "debate" them. (& I once did debate and that is NOT what these guys want)
They don't want to debate at all. When I'm in the mood, I waste their time on purpose. They get really confused because I don't take them seriously, but I will carry on forever, saying ridiculous crap. They don't realize I'm just turning their playbook up to 11.
Did that till 2012 & then realized: wait, it's MY time I'm wasting on this thing I don't care about. Then I just Block And Forget and you know what? I never think about them or whatever shit they were on about AGAIN.
I recommend only this. Don't even play with them. You'll never get the time back

The only thing you owe us is a small tithe when crossing our bridges. if a troll says you owe him a debate, kick him in the nutz.

You never debate an idiot, they'll drag you to their level then win with experience.
well up yours then :3
cuz otherwise you contribute to the censorship and spite escalation spiral, and that shit elects a trump to office 9 outta 10 times
They're sure gonna when they don't get the feedback they wanted, save em time and beat em to it!
It's better not to show a disembodied thread at all than to show it in a disembodied form.
🎯👏😄
