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!

    Trolls just move

    But isn’t that the case on all platforms? How can you get around this? Could the Fediverse do better somehow?

      Listen, it’s clear you have not given this much thought. That’s ok. But I feel I’m wasting my breath here.

        Sorry, I’m not trying to convince you that you’re wrong or anything, I’m genuinely curious what you think. I’m curious if there’s a way to do better. Sorry if I offended you.

        And you’ve presented no solutions; so you have wasted your breath, and inconvenienced untold scores of electrons with your whingefest.
