Reminder: reddit may be dead, but trolls are not.

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.

Hope the moderation gets more aggressive soon, or this place is fuuuucked. There's already like three the_donald magazines.
- Opposing political opinions are not trolls. Let's not be like Reddit where "opposite opinion" = bad.
  
  I wish I could upvote you twice.
  
  No, but fascists are troll (and worse. Much worse). And yes, trump and his cult are fascists
  
  Don't platform fascists. Don't play apologetics for platforming fascists. Don't tolerate people who platform fascists.
  
  Stop treating fascism as a mere difference of opinion.
  
  No, but someone rocking up to a news magazine just to post “Trump won and everyone knows it” with no news article is trolling. Some of these folks are trolls trying to piss people off.
  
  Ah yes, because all opinions are equal and NAMBLA and Nazis need to be given equal weight for their "opposite opinions".
  
  I would argue that there is a line where speech becomes hate speech, in fact that line is already defined as criminal libel/defamation and assault.
  
  The_Donald was not about political opinions. It was a hate farm that made neofascists out of people who came for the lulz. By all means let's have actual conservatives discuss politics as a counterpoint to more liberal views, but smack the fascists down - because it's the only way to truly have a tolerant society and civil discourse: Intolerance as politics must not be tolerated. If that basic rule is ignored, everything else fails.
  
  See the paradox of intolerance.
Actually, they should be reported. Don't just scroll pass if you see harassment or hate speech.
- Is that all it takes to trigger you?
  
  Thanks for providing a comment to test the report feature with.
  
  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.
- How exactly do you report them? I tried to report one troll I saw, but couldn’t find the option.
