  1. Any tips for dealing with hit-and-run #trolls on Mastodon?

    I get only 1 or 2 per month, but their mendacious aggression is an unpleadant contrast to the usual civility of the Fediverse. The hit-and-run trolls who come for me are always either #zionists or German militarists.

    The formula is a trolling post, followed promptly by a block. So I can't reply and I can't view the profile.

Gizmodo: ‘Never Talk About Goblins’: OpenAI’s Instructions to Codex Have a Weirdly Emphatic No-Creatures Policy . “A document posted by OpenAI on Github as part of the open-sourcing for Codex CLI, OpenAI’s most recent flagship coding agent, contains what looks like the entire system prompt for GPT-5.5 in a coding context.

  7. ' #Greece to ban #anonymity on #socialMedia

    "The major problem behind anonymity is toxicity," argues digital governance minister'

    They are correct: anonymity is a vector for #trolls, #harassment, #bigotry, and other antisocial behavior

    So the solution is #moderation

    The solution is not driving vulnerable people off social media

    Greek government: you ignoramuses

    Also I wonder how the fuck they will implement this

It was written and produced by Timberlake, #MaxMartin, and #KarlSchuster. Musically, "Can't Stop the Feeling!" is an uptempo #discopop and #soulpop number with #funk influences.

  9. I am a fan of Amber Akilla's inspirational messages. I just heard her say "The price of slaying is haters." I love this.

    The haters/trolls always come out when you do well and it is the price of success.

    Toxic people are threatened by your success.

  21. RE: climatejustice.social/@termina

    Another type of troll I experienced today was the DARVO troll, which has a lot of overlap with Sea-Lioning. Darvo stands for: "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." While the point of sealioning is to drain your energy, what makes DARVO different is the goal is to flip the script to make you the bad guy for having a boundary.

    When you set a boundary like "I do not want to debate this," continuing to reply is a form of trolling.

    There is a wikipedia page for this one too:

  22. Conventional wisdom says:

    Ignore #edgelord #trolls. Don't give them attention

    But the monstrous trolls of the world, you can't help it. And you should pay attention. Many human lives are in the balance, possibly even yours

    Look at this fucking piece of shit

    Can he be even more of a scumbag?

    Yes

    And we all know what he wants all those extra miserable human lives for: cannon fodder

  23. a few days ago a #dutch judge ruled #doorbell #cameras illegal if pointed at #public space. since then someone is paying a lot of #bots & #trolls in nl media to turn this into a "#privacy is going 2 far and impedes our #security". morons. it's not about the cameras themselves, but only about them pointed at public spaces. no one talks about how these doorbells are not owned by they houseowners but by #oligarchs and hostile #governments, who have city-wide networks now for tracking dissidents.

  24. The Case for Dumping FaceBook and Threads

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Yesterday afternoon I was trolled by an American account of a person living in Germany. I commented on the absurdity of bicycle lanes that are just two hundred meters long and the troll account said "be happy to have that". I felt like answering in a hostile manner. I refrained from doing this. I deleted my threads account instead.

    You might see this as overkill, but there is something to be said about dumping toxic antisocial media sites. We invest our time and attention on Facebook, Twitter, Bluesky and Threads and if we report accounts, over and over, only to be told that they do not breach their codes of conduct rules, then they have squandered their chance to keep us as customers.

    Months ago I reported troll accounts spreading hate and hostility towards cyclists and eventually I was ghosted. Instead of being sad, and offended, I deactivated my account, and I haven't missed Facebook (FB) since. The reality of the situation is that if we are on a social networks we use it to be surrounded by like minded people. We are there to have a good time, and we are there for a sense of community.

    When I was trolled on Threads, yesterday afternoon Facebook owned Threads breached the social contract, by tolerating these accounts. It's not that you're trolled once a week, or once a month. It is that you are trolled on a daily basis.

    Algorithmic Noise

    I believe that the problem with trolls on FB, TW and Threads is based on algorithms. Until 2020 or earlier we followed people, and we chose what we saw. We chose whether to look at one topic, or one thread. We chose who we followed, and that shaped who else we saw. In algorithmic "social" media we see what algorithms want us to see. We see the lowest common denominator.

    The consequence of this algorithmic skewing of what we see affects two things. It affects how complicated it is to find a community, because who we follow has no effect on what we see, but it also forces us to see accounts that we don't want to see in the first place.

    The result is that this noise, over time becomes toxic, and that toxic noise impacts how happy, or hostile we are. Eventually we all become toxic, as a result of using Threads and Facebook. That's why I dumped Facebook, and Threads. I don't want to be hostile, or toxic. I know that by reducing the time I spend on FB and Threads it has a positive impact on my mental well being.

    A Two Way Street

    If Facebook owned social media sites and apps want to keep us, they need to respect us as individuals, and stop seeing us as addicted users. They need to respect our morals and values, and work towards helping preserve Human Rights, rather than demeaning them. As I write this Facebook, whitewashed as Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content. Facebook has to respect its users, if it wants to retain its monopoly.

    And Finally

    Too many social media sites forget that they are social networks first, and social media second. By this I mean that social media, without social networks is just broadcasting. It's just a one way, passive flow of information. Terms like "doom scrolling" reflect this passive approach to social media. Social media has a social network underlying the site or app.

    If the social network is forgotten about, as was the case with Facebook, and Threads, and Twitter, then users leave. They disengage, and then the site becomes a ghost, as is the case of Flickr, Yahoo and Myspace, to name a few.

    Why should we use social media sites that do not respect us?

  27. @tshirtman @mloxton @tarheel @inthehands

    agreed. in this regard, #socialMedia can be a force multiplier for good as well as what it is now: a force multiplier for #bigotry and #plutocracy

    but that makes our communities a target

    so we need something like #mastodon where we can squash the #trolls without the "fReEzEpEaCh!" #bigoted morons and #centralized #corporate social media indifference or tacit support for #ignorance and #hate

    we need the #fediverse to grow

  28. @todwest @mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin

    Yeah.

    The #media conglomerates want to make money.

    Just like centralized #socialmedia noticed controversy keeps people glued to their screens, so they amp that up, and #edgelord #trolls have a golden age

    So too has legacy media always known "if it bleeds it leads"

    And so we get a distorted view of the world

    Only because: media companies want money

  29. @aka_quant_noir @jpaskaruk @nosmaharba @lakelaur

    correct

    i have no problem with #leftists who lambast milquetoast centrist #democrats, in general

    as long as that person keeps their eye on the prize, and remembers the larger stakes

    therefore, at this point in time, *right now*, the #left better be fucking cheering the democrats

    if they are not, they are complete morons, immature #edgelord #trolls, or agents provocateurs serving #maga or #russia

    *after* the election, let all hell loose

  30. Why #trolls , #extremists , & others spread #conspiracy theories they don’t believe

    My colleagues and I have found that there are a number of people sharing #conspiracies online who don’t believe their own content

    They are opportunists. These people share to promote conflict, cause chaos, recruit & #radicalize potential followers, make money, harass, or even just to get attn.
