Interesting how, until around 5 or so years ago, the definition of the word "troll" was someone who deliberately posted content to get a reaction out of others.

Now it mainly refers to people that say mean things or have different opinions than you do.

Yes... we don't want to expose ourselves to different opinions. It feels bad. Feeling bad is too much to handle.

I am not active on social media, but if you have to check the comments that you get for trolls every minute you might reconsider the value you get from it.

Is this botting mass flagging?
