Sometimes, when I notice I have persistent trolls over months, I take a couple tries to reach out and talk to them.
I try to directly address their issues, and ask what their problem is, or who hurt them.
Like someone who is clearly a human but posts anti-Bitcoin stuff on my threads 193 times. Or who makes fun of my voice 65 times.
Thus far, it has almost never worked out. They just keep going until they burn out. Their views and comments tend to be near-zero anyway. It’s a mental illness issue. And I’m not equipped to handle it.
Kind of like how people throw poop in certain cities, there are people who digitally just parasitically can’t stop clutching to others negatively.
I invite them to do better, hope they recover, but I increasingly learn that dealing with them rationally doesn’t work and I’m not the right one to help with that sort of mental illness.
