Well I've been behaving on lemmy for the sake of our instances users. So yea there's that.
I mostly troll on plemora and the reason I even started doing that is because......
I HATE how all the posts are out of context. It's like a bunch of conversations that don't make any sense. And that you're not included in.
At first no one talked to me at all. So I got mad and started spit firing insults. Then all of a sudden lol.
I don't do it much. Usually just when I'm bored and most of the time I insult and move on. I don't really engage in replies just bc why?
I'm of the opinion that I'm an internet person who shouldn't matter to you. Just ignore me. Don't engage you're wasting your time
Exactly this: don't engage. You may be 100% right and justified but the energy you invest even in responding is lost/wasted. It's a temptation to be right and you're falling for it. Your attention could be elsewhere.
For example, I use YouTube as a learning platform mainly, but sometimes for entertainment. If I started arguing with someone in the comments then I've strayed from my own understanding of the platform's place in my life. I try to weild technology with more awareness and avoid those pitfalls.
