As we start to see more users join, it’s inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed.
Best just to scroll past them. They want to spark unwinnable arguments and rack up negative rep. If something seems absurdly ridiculous or inciteful, just move on. It’s not even worth down voting.
hey children, yes this is a Prime example of a troll.
You think so?
Seems like an awfully high effort post to be just a troll. Maybe it’s just that other people don’t have the same views as you do.
Hey little Jimmy looks like you have a question?
Oh Jimmy, it’s not always about the effort or length of a post that defines a troll. A troll is someone who purposefully stirs up conflict or posts inflammatory or off-topic messages to distract and control the conversation, often eliciting emotional responses.
Check it out: So, imagine you’re playing with your favorite toy car, alright? Then someone, let’s call them SJ_Zero, comes over and says, “Oh, that’s a nice car, but did you see this super-duper rocket? And oh, did I tell you about this ultra-cool submarine I once had? And oh, there was this time when I played with a helicopter…” and on and on they go!
What happened to your toy car? Poof, it’s forgotten, lost in the whirl of rockets, submarines, and helicopters. That’s what SJ_Zero is doing here, taking us on a whirlwind tour of election history, far away from our original chat about the 2020 election and how Trump lost.
So you get it Jimmy? And that’s why you shouldn’t feed the trolls.
