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.
Hot tip: check poster history before you commit too deep.
Learned that one on the hard streets of Reddit.
Yeah need to do that more often.
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
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)
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.
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.
downvote and move on in peace
I just remind myself that, if their first comment is unintelligent, their following comments usually don’t exceed that level.
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. (⬭_⬭ )
Never argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
No they won’t
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.
Remember, nothing says I don’t care what you think, like not responding.

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.
Bark bark
Woof woof
Good boy
Sometimes, you just gotta let the haters hate
Life ain’t fo’ hatin’, life is FauxLiving
This upvote is the angriest one I will give today.
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.
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.
you can’t just drop that on us and keep them to yourself now
I mean, I blocked them, so it’s not like I can easily pull up their comments.
Meanwhile you can easily pop onto my profile and search for penis size discussion from yesterday.
that is fair
Ah if only I had self control
Also the face I make when my teenager decides to push my buttons
That moment when you choose not to rebut that dumb argument
