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....
Apparently, the #DailyMail has just launched "Woke Watch", where red faced pillocks send in angry e-mails, complaining about transgender asylum seekers giving their house prices pronoun cancer, or something.
Anyway, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should one e-mail wokewatch@dailymail.co.uk to #Troll, #Shitpost or just plain take the piss. No, that would be WRONG. Oh, for shame!
The Israeli state is starving the people of Gaza and I don’t know how to wrap my head around the horror of this.
I watched Asad do this to Syrians for years and it is a horrific way to die. People with diabetes will die first, in agony, and then children and the elderly.
The Danish artist Thomas Dambo put up these large, wooden trolls all around #Denmark. They are located in various hidden or hard-to-get-to places, making them perfect as destinations for hikes (or bike rides): https://trollmap.com/#/@55.701x12.4962z10.4
I plan to visit a whole bunch of them with my son in our cargo bike during the upcoming summer holiday.
Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"
Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion
It's also the height of #privilege and #entitlement, that you don't have to care about your #trans compatriots, you don't have to care about the #climate, that you don't have to care about #women and their right to control their own body, etc. You're going to assert your single issue, to the exclusion of all other issues, and even go backwards on that one issue
🇨🇦 MSM leading us down the same path as the US by amplifying the dangerous rhetoric of opposition leader Pierre Poilievre
“It will be common sense. No more woke. We will celebrate our history, we will restore freedom of speech, we will allow people to be proud again, we will honour our traditions and treat our citizens with respect. (In relation to the military) we’re going to end the woke culture and
👉 we’re going to bring back a warrior culture.”

What you fail to comprehend is though Canadian law is set up to view our country in a more socially-minded way, we are not all out pro socialism or communism.
And looking at your profile, the first thing I noticed is you are against the war against Russia. so I was correct in my assessment.
Das regelmäßige Blockieren/Sperren von Accounts auf #Mastodon ist für mich ein essentielles Feature. Auch auf Mastodon bzw. im #Fediverse gibt es genug Idioten. Diskutiere nicht lange mit Trollen oder Idioten. Das ist Zeitverschwendung. Tut euch das nicht an. Das Leben ist dafür zu kurz. Schenkt eure Zeit jenen, die euch mit Respekt behandeln - auch wenn sie anderer Meinung sind.
Folklore says that if you ever meet a troll that is in a bad mood and tries to attack you, you can try to guess its name and say it out loud. Trolls can't stand the sound of their own name, so if you guess correctly the troll will either drop dead or escape.
Je viens d'écouter ce podcast : "Geeks, trolls et cie" des Couilles sur la table.
Ça déblaye pas mal le sujet des mascu, des violences sexistes sur Internet, du harcèlement, etc. et donc aussi il est question de la modération et des algorithmes. Ça reste la base de la base mais il y a plein de gens qui ne l'ont pas donc c'est intéressant !
J'aime bien l'idée d'arrêter de parler de "vie réelle" puisque ce qui se passe sur Internet, c'est la vie réelle ; et donc de plutôt parler de vie numérique VS vie physique.
Et j'aime aussi l'idée d'arrêter de parler de "trolls", ce qui a tendance à dédouaner les mecs de leur responsabilité.
"Oh mais ça va, c'est juste un troll" comme le "Oh mais ça va, c'est juste une blague", alors que non !
I finally made the trek to meet Bruunidun. She’s a #ThomasDambo giant #troll making her home next to Puget Sound in Lincoln Park in West Seattle. Idun is playing a troll sized flute to call home native #Orcas.
According to Danish folklore, a troll blacksmith once lived inside one of the hills on the lands of Nyegaard. Anyone who left some iron (plus a shilling for payment) next to the hill overnight would find a finished product waiting for them the next morning. #MythologyMonday
This is a free world: some folks support Putin, others support Hamas, even troll around with ridiculous rationalizations to justify terrorism, terrorists are despicable humain beings.
"0.3% of the British population owns 66% of the country, and these 160,000 families who own two-thirds of Great Britain largely descend from the army of William the Conqueror — the first Norman King of England who first conquered the country in 1066."
Yes, bad actor is also a possibility. I never like to assume the worst but sometimes…
So I’m that scenario, the assumption would be that this person posts something about a UK topic (Coutts bank was in the comment replies) and then, after people comment and boost, replace tags original post and article with “incendiary troll message”?
