the image, is it ai? can't tell
Sometimes, I reply to a hateful comment, only to have them reply back. Then I realize that they know more about (insert subject here) than I do. (⬭_⬭ )
That subject is usually just the convenient outlet for being hateful. And hate's a hell of a fuel.
But...
Them knowing more? Usually it's just wikipedia.
Oh yes. :)
Always fun that Lemmy shows that people I've blocked replied too. I always hope they're sitting there waiting for a response that's never going to come.
downvote and move on in peace
I have a problem. I like good conversation. Unfortunately you can't tell if someone will provide it online until a post or two. So I end up responding to haters. I should notice them more quickly.
Hot tip: check poster history before you commit too deep.
Learned that one on the hard streets of Reddit.
Yeah need to do that more often.
I just remind myself that, if their first comment is unintelligent, their following comments usually don't exceed that level.
Almost as good the feeling as blocking a toxifying troll that’s been posting to the same comment for 5 days pretending they are there to have a valid argument. They just …disappear. Got to love that function these days.
Sometimes, you just gotta let the haters hate
Also the face I make when my teenager decides to push my buttons
Remember, nothing says I don't care what you think, like not responding.
Sometimes I still start typing, but just to realise a few words in that it's entirely pointless. But usually I don't bother blocking.
My block list isn't very big (14 if you exclude NSFW accounts), so if you're on it, you're something of a special level of toxic.
FUCK YOU and your reasonable response to hatred. Also DUCK YOU for being a rational and well reasoned person. Most of all CLUCK YOU for your irrational hatred of chickens. i love you
Happens to me all the time as well
I've never blocked anyone, although I'm tempted with one that has been stalking me for months, since I opened. I think it's an alternate account of a troll on hexbear.
Often such alts are quite open about who they are, some explicitly stating those facts and e.g. how their alt predates their hexbear account (so not created to get around a ban, but then in the very next sentence proudly announcing how they can use it to that effect, as if that is somehow any better, or even different in the slightest degree?).
I wouldn't know how to find out for sure in your case without stalking them in return though:-).
I'm not all that sensitive so don't care enough to investigate too far, it's just pathetic on their account. Whatever arguments I originally made it was enough to keep an unstable person obsessed with my account for months.
Like I waste a lot of time on comment boards, especially in winter, but I'm not stalking people for months over some slight. Not for the day let alone months. I will check a profile, even comment if I have a valid opinion on something else they said. I'm not going ten pages deep or coming back after the fact though.
Best Dog (and, by extension person)
Don't feed the troll or hater.
Yeah cuz ur a fuckin pussy
Perhaps but at least I'm at peace with that fact
What other kinds of pussy are there?
The virgin Mary's pussy
This is peak content. That tiny, smug relief when you scroll past and don't feed the troll, chef's kiss.
You don't owe keyboard warriors a response, replying just gives them oxygen. Used to waste nights arguing with strangers, now I block and go pet a dog. Way better ROI on my sanity.
Also, that dog is judging my old comment history and I deserve it. Silence is underrated, 11/10 would choose again.
