I want to take a moment to say the following: Do *NOT* engage with trolls!

[Initech]

Trump trolls are everywhere. They are emboldened about the election and they are looking for people to feed off of. They are currently profiting from our misery over the election. They are popping up all over the internet too, not just on Xitter.

Do not engage with or give fuel to these sick fucks who are profiting off of us being miserable. Trump trolls are sick, cruel, and disgusting psychopaths. Remember, many of them voted out of spite and malice.

The best thing if you see nasty comments pop up on your feeds is to not engage. Block, report, and move on. Trust me as a veteran site moderator, the moderators will know what to do with these scumbags! Stay safe out there, both online and IRL.

Rubbernecker with 1 post removed

6. He was certainly a little dickens wasn't he?

He was a good example of what the OP was warning us about.

[dchill]

12. Sorry I missed it!

[dweller]

16. Dilopolus

ie : rubbernecker


✌🏻

[Initech]

15. Proved my point exactly!

[reACTIONary]

27. Kind of ironic, given the OP.

[Qutzupalotl]

3. You triggered at least one!

(see above)

[Irish_Dem]

7. It was the cutest damn thing I have seen all day.

We get an OP warning us about trolls and a cute little one pops up right on cue first thing.

Then mods send him straight to hell in two seconds.
My head was spinning.

Worth my DU membership $$$ right there to watch it.

[Initech]

17. Troll made an account just to respond to this.

And proved my point exactly!

[Irish_Dem]

18. I thought maybe he followed you from another site.

Like a little troll pet.
I think we should have kept him for a while.
He was kinda cute.

[niyad]

24. Darn! I miss all the fun!!!

[Abolishinist]

32. And yet, even more membership $$$ could be had.

I would gladly pay x amount to see hidden posts. This could be a real money-maker for DU!

[Elessar Zappa]

4. I very rarely see right wing posts on my social media.

I make a point of scrolling right past if I see something that even hints of right wing perspective so the algorithm knows I’m absolutely not interested.

[Dem4life1234]

5. I won't care if his policies make them suffer.

They are incredibly stupid people. All insults, no brains.

[oasis]

8. Pea brained mofos will never "own us". They

don’t have a clue how get on in the world without their weak arsenal of put downs.

[dchill]

13. They're too busy owning themselves.

[Initech]

19. Yup. We are laughing *AT* them. Not with them!

[Clouds Passing]

9. Alert is our friend!

[dgauss]

10. I usually miss the post removed posts (mods are really good).

I sometimes wonder hey what did I just miss? I've seen a few. I saw the first post on this thread before it was deleted and it was just short, predictable and stupid. So if you ever wonder what you may have missed when you see "post removed" count on the fact that it was even more pointless than you figured it would be.

[Initech]

21. Post #1 created an account 2 minutes after I posted this to insult me.

The trash was taken out before it became a problem!

[Irish_Dem]

23. You caught a troll in 2 minutes with your anti troll OP. Has to be a DU record.

Troll flew in, got stuck, got tombstoned.
I watched the whole damn thing.

[Initech]

31. Yeah that was totally insane!

[Irish_Dem]

22. The content was cute and a bit obnoxious, but it was so funny to see the troll pop up right away,

first comment on the troll thread was from a troll.

Was adorable, really.

Hey I live in a fascist regime, I have to enjoy the small things now.

[GoYouPackersGo]

11. Even if said troll is my father-in law?

I feel like I have to engage that fucker, even if it does cost my marriage.

[Mister Ed]

37. Sometimes silence speaks volumes. A very frosty, ongoing silence. n/t

[tenderfoot]

14. There's a lot of trolls here

Fuck all of them

[Grenouille50]

20. Thank you

I was puzzled today when an unknown man called me names. Sad times.

[niyad]

25. Since I am not on socal media anyway, I rarely see them. MIRT does a

fabulous job (although sometimes I miss the days when admin would let us play with them for a bit!). The ones I see when I watch Keith Olbermann, Report From Ukraine, or Anna from Ukraine are such obvious bots, it is almost funny.

[Prairie Gates]

26. "the moderators will know what to do with these scumbags!"

Several on some familiar boards with 15,000-20,000 posts.

[Initech]

28. I unfortunately know there's a lot of moderators who are MAGA.

But most usually follow the TOS and don't let politics get in the way.

[Prairie Gates]

29. I was thinking somewhat closer to home but yeah

Your mileage will vary...

[Think. Again.]

30. Bingo.

[GP6971]

35. So...you're admitting you're a troll?

[GP6971]

36. A personal question. Were you married to Florence

in a different life?
