As we start to see more users join, it's inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed.

Best just to scroll past them. They want to spark unwinnable arguments and rack up negative rep. If something seems absurdly ridiculous or inciteful, just move on. It's not even worth down voting.

I have zero tolerance for trolls, just block 'em and move on. Life's too short!

I just want to point out that not everyone with an unpopular opinion is a troll. I think this is important as many people get victimized by a group for posting something unpopular, getting ganged up on. Be careful where you post!

I wonder if people are going to abuse downvotes and reports. The downvote is not a disagreement button, and reporting just because you find a comment distasteful is not what it should be for.

The down vote button is whatever we want it to be.

trolls are people too. but the owner of reddit isn't

I will say overall that this community has been largely much more positive and troll-free than Reddit. We'll see how long it lasts, but man it's been nice

They do seem to be super salty over in the subreddits that were discussing all this, like Save3rdpartyapps. A lot of the people posting now are just the anti trolls because the vast majority of the posters (including me) followed through and deleted everything and left.

Less of a problem on Lemmy where karma is not publically displayed.

As long as no one starts making /m/AngryUpvote a thing, and as long as ShittyMorph stays off the fediverse, we'll be off to a good start.

I've already been seeing toxic incel shit. They're not trolls, of course--they sincerely believe that garbage.
