    I’ve seen very little trolling, definitely not rampant for what I’m subbed to. I have seen a fair amount of people that become offended by silly stuff.

      I’ve seen people who had profiles that literally professed that they only existed to troll, and their accounts lasted longer than people who said something wrong politically regarding Israel/Palestine.

        lol that’s wild, trolling on here seems pointless with the low user base.

        Not gonna lie I filtered out Israel, Palestine, and hamas when that started, because of the differing political groups being so hard line/obnoxious in the comments.

          You would think that, right? Some people legit have nothing better to do.

          I mean, I know I’ve got nothing better to do than dick around online, but like… I still want to have real conversations and not just try to upset people. It’s really weird, unhealthy, antisocial behavior.

      It’s mostly in the politics communities, for all the good that information does you. It’s incredibly blatant, though that doesn’t stop folks from biting the hook given the spectrum of people here.

          They chose their torture… but yes, the comments they sift through are among the worst in the fediverse.

            Zero faith that anyone moderating a politics community is doing it for any reason other than to have control of the discourse.

            Just because Lemmy is a more cohesive unit where overall political leaning is concerned, doesn’t mean that it’s unfiltered and unbiased.
