Report and move on

I mean... internet jannies are supposed to do their jobs and sweep away the trash, no?

(no offense to the actual good mods xD)

My Kryptonite is the professional controians I'll bite to the point they're just talking nonsense in some attempt to be right over having a discussion. Main reason I left Reddit got so bored of having to engage with someone's sudo intellectual ego.

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. (⬭_⬭ )

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

No they won't

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

i really wish that, but some people just have to get the last word in. i can name a few dipshits like that i interacted with on facebook, most of whom were me and some of whom weren't, and it was a very hard behavior to unlearn.

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

downvote and move on in peace

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Hot tip: check poster history before you commit too deep.

Learned that one on the hard streets of Reddit.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah need to do that more often.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

it would be nice if there were indicators by folk like me who are fucking mood swingy too.

[today the weather is: blustery with a 75% chance of bullshit] kind of thing

[–] daddycool@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I just remind myself that, if their first comment is unintelligent, their following comments usually don't exceed that level.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Sometimes, you just gotta let the haters hate

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Life ain't fo' hatin', life is FauxLiving

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 33 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

I didn't hate chickens until I played A Link to the Past

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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:-).

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 9 hours ago

Yeah someone seems to be following you around downvoting everything you've said here - I hope you enjoy the opportunity to live rent-free inside their head 🤪

[–] carrotfox@piefed.social 4 points 22 hours ago

Happens to me all the time as well

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yep. I just blocked a guy who took me for a multi-day adventure trying to prove I have a small penis, including them creating memes depicting me saying I have a small penis.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

you can't just drop that on us and keep them to yourself now

[–] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 17 hours ago

Remember, nothing says I don't care what you think, like not responding.

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 19 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah cuz ur a fuckin pussy

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 22 hours ago

Perhaps but at least I'm at peace with that fact

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What other kinds of pussy are there?

Also the face I make when my teenager decides to push my buttons

[–] xodasu@sh.itjust.works 15 points 23 hours ago

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.

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 9 points 21 hours ago

Don't feed the troll or hater.

[–] Everyday0764@lemmy.zip -2 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

the image, is it ai? can't tell

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

It's an old meme format from before AI image generation

EDIT: I'm wrong, it's actually newer than I remembered (2024)

Cooked Dog / Dog Closing His Eyes

It's not clear where the image originates from

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Looks like a legit photo of a dog facing a sunset.

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 3 points 18 hours ago

Best Dog (and, by extension person)

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

That moment when you choose not to rebut that dumb argument
