Habe mir 1 Formulierung zurechtgelegt, falls mal wieder ein #AxelSpringer - Fossilist ein Statement oder Interview wünscht:

„Aus historischer Verantwortung werde ich keinem Konzern in #Berlin zuarbeiten, der einen #AfD-Wahlaufruf des Hitler-verharmlosenden Elon Musk abdruckte & dessen #Shitbürgertum-Autor die Kirchen mit Deep State - Verschwörungsmythen beschimpfte. Ich empfehle 1 Lektüre zur fatalen Rolle von #Hugenberg. Weiterem #Trolling & #SLAPP - Klagen sehe ich gelassen entgegen.“

💁‍♂️🤭✅✊

I have figured out a hilarious way to troll #elonmusk fans commenting on my videos.

They always go with the lowest hanging fruit insult. First thing they notice, that is the insult.

I used a filter a couple times that grays me out, and makes me look like a vampire.

Then they usually tell me I need to get more sun and move out of my mom's basement.

I just say "I thought you guys liked pale people!" And their brain completely fries, and they RAGE.

Hinweis zum richtigen Umgang mit #Trolling

Seit der Amtszeit #Trump I habe ich es mit teilweise professionellen Trollen & Hatern aus dem In- & Ausland zu tun. Einige konnten wir auch schon zur Rechenschaft ziehen, andere handeln im Auftrag.

Eine Lehre aus Erfahrung: Leitet bitte KEINE Hass-Nachrichten, Screenshots von Trollen an Betroffene weiter, fordert uns nicht zu Stellungnahmen o.ä. auf.

Zeit ist genau das, was Trolle stehlen wollen. Löschen reicht. Danke. 😊🙌 scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-

"Mississippi #lawmaker introduces '#Contraception Begins at Erection Act'"

'unlawful for "a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo"

"the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or #abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation... People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me"'

Noah Berlatsky has an excellent piece on what it means to use a Nazi salute in public.

' Nazi salutes and Nazi imagery are used by Nazis to show might, and as a tool of intimidation. They are meant to signal to Jewish people, to leftists, to queer people and Black people, that Nazis dominate the public square, and that ultimately only Nazis and their allies belong in the public square.

A sign of what's coming — not just for me:

He gets inaugurated, and a troll posts a juvenile video to me here on Mastodon, in which gay men are mocked and called offensive names.

I will certainly not be the only person targeted in this way now. So, heads up and chins up, all.

These overgrown adolescent boys are so much piffle to me. I laugh and carry on, because instead of wounding me, they just show me and the whole world what tiny little boys they are.

#Ukraine's #Zelensky describes a conversation with #Slovakia's #Fico about Fico not being sure what #Russia's #Putin is doing in #Ukraine is evil

This is our world now:

We have elevated the lowest rungs of weak #socialmedia #trolling to the halls of power

Where this "just asking questions" form of mindless #morality denial is something too many feel comfortable engaging in

And now the #USA is about to have another regime by #Trump, who is, basically, our first Internet #troll #president

There's a type of reply-guy that crawls out of the woodwork when I post anything that might inspire others to take action, and they're deceptively insidious.

Regardless of the topic, they sound like this:

Alice: I don't own a gun because they're for killing and I'm not a fan of killing.
Bob: Then only the bad guys will have guns.

Alice: I deleted my Facebook account.
Bob: If the good people leave then the bad guys win.

Alice: I'm openly queer so others know they're not alone.
Bob: You'll make yourself a target.

In every instance, they defend the shitty state of things by discouraging action and change. It's a reply that is designed to support the default, the current power structure. It's a type of reply meant to de-fang movements.

I've posted about this before, but apparently it bears repeating. Fighting for something takes energy. Change takes sustained energy and momentum. These types of interactions sap energy. They're not posting anything openly disagreeable, they're just dropping little doubt caltrops, little concern anchors—making it harder to keep fighting, harder to gain momentum.

If you're about to jump into a thread and concern troll, don't. I'm fucking sick of it. The rest of us don't have the time or energy to drag your dead weight along.
