Why are the pithy, dismissive responses not trolling? Those replies are exactly trolling.

uralsolo@hexbear.net 9 months agoI’m sorry, but your post makes it sound like that’s what you’re saying. Either that or you consider pithy, dismissive responses (ie “cope and seethe” or PPB) to be trolling, which I also disagree with.

What? Ppb, rent free stuff is absolutely trolling.
" In slang, a troll is a person who posts or makes inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages online or in real life, with the intent of provoking others into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception, thus acting as a bully or a provocateur. "
It’s literally trying to dismiss or detail the conversation, or illicit frustration out of the recipient. It’s used when they don’t care for the discussion.

I don't know how to break it to you that like 99% of people think using pithy, dismissive responses is bonafide asshole behaviour, and that's why nobody wants to talk to you guys.
Your "instance culture" is just being a bunch of assholes. This is why everyone defederates you.
