how do you all not respond to bigots in comments?
how do you all not respond to bigots in comments?
Genq with the title, it is hard for me to not respond to them because I lack self control, especially when Im not feeling well
On a better note, how are you all?
You're viewing a single thread.
@StarlightRose On twitter I often did respond, but then block them before they could reply back. My thinking was that I wasn't talking to them, but rather to people reading the thread that needed to see their fallacies debunked. Giving them the chance to respond was just allowing more bad faith arguments made of logical fallacies, so it is never a good idea.
That's always been my take too.
A tip I got at some point was that if you feel smug/self-satisfied about posting something, it's probably just better that you don't. Trying to win internet points by owning bigots is not making the world better, and it certainly never made me happy either.
But you do want other, uninformed folks to be able to see how flawed the bigots arguments really are, and if you have the energy its worthwhile putting that out there.
Honestly, when I still used twitter, I would usually just block on sight since they arent worth my time or energy
They were usually bait accounts.
Shame melon husk wants to remove the block feature because his fascist friends are mad they cant target harass people
