  Except it’s not their fault. At least, not entirely. Every single fucking centralized social platform tweaks its content algorithm to drive engagement, and they found that the best way was to piss you off. They shove it in your face until you can’t help but say something to fight the unending flow of utter bullshit.

    Block them or move to another platform. I block everyone on Facebook who feels the need to make negative comments, regardless of whether I expect to encounter them again. Really cleans up the place.

      Deleting my Facebook account cleaned it up better for me.

    That’s true, though the simple solution is to not be on such platforms. You do not have to let them “shove it in your face until you can’t help it”.

      Yet are we not on Lemmy, flooded with posts detailling every little thing that Musk and Trump do?

    Sounds like a lack of emotional maturity.

      More like an intense study of how best to exploit human nature for financial gain.

      Imagine that there’s a paving slab that sticks out right outside of your house, often causing you to fall. If that’s the 50th time you fall over due to this thing, you probably will curse at it, no matter how emotionally mature you are.

      Now exchange falling over to being trolled.

  I’m so happy I was introduced to the 'net in the 90’s - when the mantra was “don’t believe everything you read on the internet.”

  It’s too bad that fell out of vogue.

  • Venator@lemmy.nz ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I think that’s still in vogue, just that people don’t belive the wrong parts of the Internet 😅

      No way its in vogue anymore, you clearly didnt experience the 90s

  I feel like back in the day trolling was more of an art where you’d say something stupid to expose someone’s cognitive dissonance.

  Now it just refers to people being dicks. Trolling itself has become enshittified.

    There is some good bait and people don’t even care and even throw money at those people

    But generally, it’s as easy as shit to pick out the bait from real opinion 🎣

  I think the default comment, even here, is “I disagree”.

  Folk have mistaken contraryism for discourse and argument for engagement.

    Agreed. There are plenty of negative replies, but I sometimes feel the positive replies – like giving thanks – could be something more people could do.

      hell yeah! i’ve been trying to embrace that IRL too, telling people when i’m enjoying my time with them, telling them when they have a great outfit, appreciating my friends, expressing gratitude for their friendship, even, though this is the hardest one, admitting when i’m wrong outloud

  I’m not sure if you can call them trolls if they’ve sincerely lost their grip on reality, and are a significant voting block.

  Really nobody in the thread is going to talk about Kremlin disinformation campaigns? That’s absolutely part of it.

  • hernanca@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Most people think the propaganda has some content they want you to believe, but in reality the propaganda has to just keep us arguing and fighting all day instead of using the magic of the internet for cooperation and personal growth by learning about all kinds of stuff and liberating our minds.

  Kinda ironic considering how many people on here are completely unable to spot satire.

  Although Facebook is definitely worse for the amount of idiotic comments being made.

    There’s a fine line between satire and being an idiot but on purpose.

    Hurt fee-fees and subsequent down doots are bedrocks of lemmy.

    I find it’s less common to find insistent users who refuse to read provided sources, or provide sources of their own, on Lemmy than on Facebook. It happens, but far less frequently than when I last used Facebook in 2015. Although my perspective may be unique to my curated feed.

    • grrgyle@slrpnk.net ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think the smaller communities helps with giving eachother the benefit of the doubt. Like if I’m disagreeing with someone from my own insurance, or another small one I know is generally cool, I’ll try much harder to figure out what their point is.

    • explodicle@sh.itjust.works ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The flip side of that is people who think sources can support an illogical argument. Sources: think tank think tank WaPo.

• quixotic120@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  The reason it was the mantra back then was because there was always at least a few new people and people who were just kind of dull that simply didn’t get it and needed such a thing constantly repeated

• LordWiggle@lemmy.world ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I kinda get it, but I also understand why it happens. People are outraged by how the world is being fucked up and they speak out. It’s resistance to Idiocracy. They may be feeding trolls but saying nothing is ignorant compliance. So claiming it’s their fault feels like victim blaming. Also, the amount of neuro diverse people is also growing. They, we, often don’t understand sarcasm and trolling and take too much seriously. And are triggered by things meant to be a joke.

  It’s funny how I reply seriously on this post. It’s like I’m inviting trolls to take me hard. I say: bring it! I brought lube.

  • Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yes, that’s why social media should I.) allow downvoting, ii.) use an algorithm that reduces the prominence of downvoted posts and iii.) actively remove bot accounts that attempt to game the voting system. Most social media do none of these things, and in fact push controversial takes.

  Even back then, the largest a forum became the less likely it was for trolls to starve in it. What we’re seeing is just the continuation of that.
