I agree, they don’t seem particularly concerned, which is why I’ve steadily pivoted more towards general conversations on what trolling actually is, what the classic trollface.jpg really represents, and methods by which it seeks to accomplish its goals. If this or any other community I’m active in is going to allow these behaviors, it won’t be able to claim ignorance of how it all works.
