This post is getting reported for trolling/rage bait. It most likely is that, but I am enjoying the comments and ratio so I am going to leave it be. We’ll keep an eye on it just in case.
Trolling seems like a catch all for unpopular ideas/“things I don’t like”.
How is unpopular expression & expression in general not the whole point of social media?
There are a lot of people doing obvious trolls. You can usually tell by looking at their other posting history if they are rage baiting or trolling. If I get a sense that a comment/post is sincere, I won’t touch it unless it’s a clear rule violation. Yes is it is subjective, but it’s also not fun to live in a world where trolls are aloud to do whatever they want. We already do IRL. Also we listen to appeals and if you feel you’ve had a sincere post/comment removed for trolling, reach out and we can talk about it.
Also, for what it’s worth, I see a lot of reports for trolling that I don’t remove because I can tell they are either being sincere or the reporter is just in a pissing match with the poster. At the end of the day we aren’t here to silence those you disagree with if they otherwise aren’t breaking the rules.
Why is everything considered trolling now. Obviously it’s not meant to be a max positivity approved meme. I just thought it was something we could have a laugh.
It’s just sad what is reported as trolling now. I’m all for the downvotes but reporting for trolling is stupid.
