There is a recent desant of Russian trolls attacking Ukraine, with some of them even blatantly saying they support Putin and some others trying to put into doubt evidence of Russian crimes (kidnapping children etc.)
I have been banned from world by @little_cow@lemmy.world for calling one of them out. Also both of my comments, the one in the screenshot and another one where I explain to another user that he is arguing with paid Russian troll have been removed.
Too many people (myself included) learned to focus on the person, instead of the idea.
That leads to sophist arguments (“you’re a troll”), rather than searching for the truth that lies somewhere between different viewpoints.
It’s not easy to keep in mind and to find ways to stay on the subject.
very well said
not to mention if you look at the comment history and you see nazi or troll or such then just block.
No, if you see a nazi or troll call it out so that administration can remove it and keep the community healthy. Do not turn a blind eye to a fucking nazi bar.
Im sorry but im not that nice. I want to block him till the administration deals with his account and he makes an alt I have to then block.
Blocking someone is far more ‘nicer’ than directly and publicly shaming someone and calling them out for their bad behaviour.
no im mean nice to the community.
