OT

[feotakahari]

The idea of not feeding trolls always seemed odd to me. It's true that not feeding a troll means they're more likely to give up on you and bother someone else on the same site, but I don't typically see trolls grow bigger from feeding-- they stay the same size, repeating the same insults over and over. It's when you don't feed them that they grow bigger and bigger, spewing bile at everyone on the site until someone finally pays attention to them.

But see the goal is to starve them, so if everybody were able to get it day one through their thick skull don't respond to the fucking trolls this wouldn't be happening right now.

As long as there is one person daft enough to respond, or one person daft enough to go on a rant about not feeding the trolls, the trolls win. Any response is a win.

Re: OT

Trolls want attention and validation. If they get those things in the form of any response, they'll keep doing what they're doing, and the behavior worsens as the figurative 'high' of the attention begins to lose its edge.

It's... pretty basic, tbh. Not sure why it confuses you.

Elsewhere on the internet, people who don't feed the trolls still get harassed and doxxed. They still get threatened and get their families threatened.

Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. That's pretty basic.

I admit, I saw it work once. The troll in question was a new member of an SJ crusade, and he tried to use said crusaders as his personal army. They went along at first because it was funny, but when the intended victim didn't respond, they got bored and the troll lost all influence. He was reduced to whining impotently with no one to back him up, and eventually he gave up.

That's one down. The rest of those SJ crusaders are still stirring up shit--they've simply switched to different targets, and I doubt they'll stop anytime soon unless they finally get banned.

And if you don't think those incidents provide the exact attention and sense of power/control trolls want then you're incredibly naive.

Re: OT

I'm...not sure what you're trying to say? Of course doing that shit provides them with attention and a sense of power/control. The point is that ignoring them in those cases didn't make them go away -- it made them escalate things. What do you think people should do when they start being harassed in real life? Should they just keep up with ignoring tactic, since, you know, it's done so much for them already?
