I can hear you! The problem is that we have 'supposed' leaders being unfair, unmannered, and downright violent every day. Their followers love their ginned up vitriol, and respond in kind! Many of these 'trolls' follow their leader in kind...they've called for an end of 'political correctness' so they can be as obscene...insulting...uncourteous...& just flat out BAD MANNERED as they please! We need to call out these bully's for what they are...& take away their power!
How is one to do so? I am all ears!
@lkong87 ...Well for one thing...don't feed the 'trolls'...they are just trying to get you p.o.ed...I know this is a big order, but it can be done...the bad thing about flagging here is it ends up hurting your value as well as the commenter you flagged...Don't build up a 'bad' rep here...it also affects your steem power...when I first came here, I though flagging was like Facebook...but it isn't...flagging is downvoting & it affects your score...I think that is intrinsically wrong...But if you mute somebody, I STILL don't know what that does...the annoying posts are still on the block chain as they never truly go away...the BEST thing here is to upvote your followers & friends...and leave the Negs be...if curious just check out their blog...they don't post much because they are way too busy attacking members...They are a negative drain on the platform...just roll over them & pay no attention to ad hominem attacks...refute their posts & comments...just don't get into a flagging war with them...Nobody WINS!
