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.

    If you want to be neck deep in that bullshit, you’re more than welcome to join exploding-heads.com. Can we have ONE space online that isn’t infiltrated by assholes?

    You don’t have to be a dick to others on the Internet. You can make that choice. Just because you CAN post hateful shit anonymously and not have to face real life consequences doesn’t mean you HAVE to.

      Some people literally would prefer to see the world burn. No idea what’s up with that form of psychological gratification from destruction, but fuck them.

      Can we have ONE space

      You’ve got it. Its out-groups are highly isolated, through a combination of downvoting and en masse automatic sub-bans based on guilt-by-association. Naturally they’re nowhere to be seen on the front page either.
