I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I’d like to try exposing them before responding and interacting…

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I’ve started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they’re burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I’ve noticed it!

      Ugghh that’s a good point, this was .world for admins, but the moderation issues seem to be non instance specific.

      Also makes me wonder if some of the trolling is dealt with and its federation issues then…

      Still, the amount of trolling comments, and users being banned for pretty frivolous things isn’t a good look.
