Could well be parody, or just simple rage bait.
Let them get bullied and blocked for their ragebait! We are all responsible for the words that come out of our mouths/typed on online spaces. ๐คท
Blocked, not bullied. It's just a shame that conflict creates 'engagement'. If don't feed the trolls was part of the modern internet, wed all be much better off.
Blocked and bullied. They need to know their actions are not tolerated, not that people they don't know aren't engaging with them in a way that has zero impact on them.
Scolded not bullied then.
Ummm... Isn't the reason we're here because we don't have to use our real names?
I could try to follow the name YappyMonotheist around trying to bully you and you could just get a new name, go though a different server, and go on your merry way.
If you think I'm not yapping about God IRL with my chest (and my phone number if anyone wants to continue talking cause faith and philosophy fascinate me!) then you're sorely mistaken, lol. But regardless, you or anyone, knowingly or not, could murder me too! That's not the point, the question is: is it merited and would that create a change in the world for the better? Or am I just a villain? In the case of the LinkedIn capitalist slave trader that doesn't even want people to care or talk about the price they're selling their time at, I think it does merit it and it would create a better world!
I just think it's ironic you're making this argument on an anonymous forum. You've got the sense not to put your telephone number in this thread because you'd exchange the squirt gun of IRL conversation for the firehose of even as small (compared to the r-hug of death, for instance) an internet source as Lemmy.
No, I'm just a bit paranoid and I don't want any white supremacist islamophobe to shank me. Or even hack me or whatever. I don't win anything from it. But I argue this way IRL comfortably because at least I can tell if the person in front is a maniac or not, lol. You don't know if I have social media where I am posting away the things I post here too... I don't, btw, cause I get it all out IRL and social media just means my friends unknowingly ragebait me with their uncooked takes, but I could've! Finally, if Lemmy was a site where everyone had to give their phone number to participate, then sure, we'd all be on the same level, but randomly giving my number here? ๐ค
