It’s the “You got upset, I win” bullshit that infested reddit and is now infesting Lemmy.

It's what I call the "4chan mentality" where they just want you to react - they'll do or say anything to get you to interact with them. As long as you're responding, they feel like they won on some level.

But getting upset and hostile doesn't stop them. They enjoy that. That's part of the problem.
