nostr:npub1xmc5e9dql7sya97g404vkf8m7rxlsnnd7rlsg2l82q2kdknnurzquqpjd8 That's a good question and I'm not sure there's a single answer, so I'm going to boost to see if we can get some other perspectives
nostr:npub1xmc5e9dql7sya97g404vkf8m7rxlsnnd7rlsg2l82q2kdknnurzquqpjd8 My two cents (with the caveat that other people's views might vary): I think it depends a lot on the situation, your relationship with the OP, and what kind of trolling is going on. For example, if it appear to be pure attention-seeking, I generally favor not giving it to them. If it's attacking a woman's credibility in an area where you know she's right, stepping in likely would be more productive and helpful.

nostr:npub1er72gxt48h29c387mz6u8lyvysrym6xg5tahknty8rrfrdz2g5uqhzyaup Yes, thank you. That's a great example of a situation in which responding is perfectly rational and can be productive.

"The court could have punished the plaintiff and Jones even more. . . . Also, the court doesn’t mention referring Jones to the Illinois state bar. I think such referrals should be routine every time a court determines that a lawyer committed fraud on the court."

D505,832 - issued in 2005 for a design for a "combined coconut-shaped drink container and coin bank." I uh, hope they're not suggesting using this for both purposes at the same time....

This thread brought to you by seeing someone (who I assume was well-meaning but misguided) doing this to someone else.
If your goal is to criticize, I guess that's your choice. But know that's what this is and how it will be perceived, and that doing so might get you muted--if not blocked.
PSA: If you see a woman respond to a troll, it is never--ever--helpful to respond to her with something along the lines of "just ignore them."
She's probably ignoring 100 (or more) for every 1 she chooses to respond to. She knows that the path of least resistance is to ignore the troll & move on. She doesn't need you to inform her of that option.
A response is a conscious decision. You are *not* helping when you criticize (because that's what this is) that decision.
nostr:npub14wvs0epg34lv8d8vccxlfxj94necjh0hvwxaeq290vdggp36xreqfw74wz Yeah. I think a lot of people also forget that, if they're not paying Elon, their posts get downgraded so having, say, 5k followers now isn't the same as having 5k followers a year ago
I've said it before: I recognize that I have a lot of privilege here. I am a full professor with tenure and have already established myself as the expert in my field. That place needs people like me more than I need it. I can take some time to try to be one of the ones who helps to build alternatives. I understand that not everyone is.
But of course, nothing else will "pick up" if no one is brave enough to make a leap.
People are literally telling me they don't want to be there but feel like they "need to" be (note: not for income or similar reasons) because others are still there. They say their waiting for [whatever alternative we're discussing] to "pick up."
Well, one thing I'll say for Elon's Twitter: It's a dramatic, contemporary example of a collective action problem.
