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.
Hope the moderation gets more aggressive soon, or this place is fuuuucked. There’s already like three the_donald magazines.
Moderation also played a part in fucking up Reddit, so it’s a double-edged sword.
Opposing political opinions are not trolls. Let’s not be like Reddit where “opposite opinion” = bad.
Don’t platform fascists. Don’t play apologetics for platforming fascists. Don’t tolerate people who platform fascists.
Stop treating fascism as a mere difference of opinion.
No, but fascists are troll (and worse. Much worse). And yes, trump and his cult are fascists
The_Donald was not about political opinions. It was a hate farm that made neofascists out of people who came for the lulz. By all means let’s have actual conservatives discuss politics as a counterpoint to more liberal views, but smack the fascists down - because it’s the only way to truly have a tolerant society and civil discourse: Intolerance as politics must not be tolerated. If that basic rule is ignored, everything else fails.
See the paradox of intolerance.
That “paradox” is bunk and is only good for justifying censorship.

No, it’s good for getting rid of antisocial shit heads who feel like they’re entitled to an audience for their toxic or abusive ideas and beliefs.
Because that’s exactly what it speaks to.
Now, if you want to argue with Karl, might I recommend getting a PhD in philosophy and starting from there, rather than whining on the internet?
If you are arguing that we should tolerate and allow white supremacists (for example) STFU.
