With every passing year I realize "Don't Feed The Trolls" is the worst decision the internet ever came up with. We let something disgusting fester thinking it was just someone trying to get a rise out of us. It wasn't a joke. It was never a joke. It was only pure seething hatred.

Talk around them rather than to them. They don't contribute anything worthwhile to the discussion, so cut them out of it.

Oh don't misunderstand, I block faster than I ever have. But I also am willing to spit the truth right back in their face first and commiserate with the people who they abuse.

That is a good point that gets missed a lot; fight the trolls but also amplify the good folks.

There are lots of things you can do. Some trolls are true trolls and can’t do anything but spread toxicity. More often though, you get people who are almost like collections of marketing statements. They’ll say something quasi reasonable to start.

And then they’ll say a few more good sounding things, but ultimately, the things will be mutually exclusive all together. Like they aren’t thinking about their words at all. They might as well be bots, but they aren’t. I think that’s the most dangerous group.

The obvious Nazi will usually limit his own reach with offensive content. The Marketing Advocate though will have a huge reach, because individually, his statements get repeated by other people who also don’t think too hard about them. Like gateway propaganda.

And they’re bad because they are so frequently insulating the worst propagandists. These are the people claiming the NYT is unfair to Jordan Peterson, which makes more people want to hear more about Jordan Peterson. They’re helping the alt right the most, by not being part of it
