Surprise! It was the same handful of self-aggrandizing, self-righteous, idealistic short-sighted imbeciles that were driving all of that discussion the entire time.
Reminds me of the mass blocker and mass tagger wars
Someone on twitter created a tool that auto blocks anyone who followed at least 2 of five specific users, and found that it basically entirely shut down the gamer gaters and began spreading the tool to other users.
You can imagine that the gamergaters were less than pleased to see their harassment campaign being obstructed, and even less happy to find out how simply they could all be categorized and dismissed.
People totally underestimate how infuriated trolls get when they’re ignored. They want any attention, even negative. Just block them and move on, it works wonders.
Is there a way to set up a reminder to check this post in an hour and see the shitshow that the comments turn into?
These kinds of meme threads are always interesting
Stealing this gif for later. Thank you for your sacrifice.
o7 Let’s see if we reach the More Comments Than Upvotes threshold
It’s there now.
Looks like I already blocked most of the people who commented. The real shitshow was the friends we blocked along the way.

@Rentlar Ok, I will remind you on Wednesday May 15, 2024 at 3:06 PM PDT.
@Rentlar Here is your reminder!
Is 58.minutes close enough? I just got here and the number of comments in an hour is a good sign that it is a shitshow.
On to the fun!
They just keep getting better! You really love to see it.
The bot didn’t mention you so here’s my manual reminder.
