    Decades old internet wisdom reads - Don’t feed the trolls.

    Block em everywhere, they are desperate for attention and looking to pick a fight so they can call you deranged, extremest and violent.

      ”But I can change their minds!”

      …every well meaning left-leaning idiot on the internet.

      No you can’t; they’re not arguing from a place of good will, they all argue for the sake of arguing.

      And in the worst case you’re arguing with a LITERAL PIECE OF CODE.

      Block and move on.

        Not every public opposition is about changing the message targets opinion. Calling those who are willing to invest in making opposition visible idiots…

        If you ignore toxicity in communities it festers and poisons the communities.

        Sometimes you argue for the lurkers, not the people in front of you. The key is avoid posting walls of text and to throw grenades, not catch them.
