Disagreeing is not trolling. I hate post where everyone just comments the same thing. It's has no value, it's boring.

When people have different opinions and exchange ideas it gets interesting.

There's something quite funny about making a few replies to people on a topic, doing something else with your life for several hours, then logging back in to a shitstorm. I've done it unintentionally a few times.

How to get rid of the last few human reddit users ... and freedom of speech.

But they all agree on one thing:

"Fuck. Spez."

Apparently not since most of them stuck around. Fuck Reddit.

You must have missed where they culled a lot Musk and Trump critics.

I want to know what the five basic kinds of users are to see which kind I am!

Devils advocate is very much in my nature but not so much when things are being done so obviously badly. Its great when discussions are more philisophical in nature.

I mean if you’re on r/star wars or a political subreddit, then yeah lol.

It might be quicker to list the subreddits where this doesn't happen

(Lookin at you, r/stardewvalley)

In other news, water is wet.

No it's not. You are.

Some people while cleaning a table just love to scratch it a bit. Why not leave that fossilized fat stain alone.

Same vibes. There's no use in agreeing. You are just adding to a clueless crowd.

Disagreeing helps everyone.

This should be illegal. As a person who was once false flagged manually by network attribution. Of course the anti troll flagging network was itself socially destroyed by time and is frequently cause of scandals while nobody cares for me.

Add certain language patterns and political stances and you have an excellent oppressive tool.

The behavior the study is referring to, is actually result of reddit's algorithms and human psychology. Often the contrarian view of whatever the post is about will automatically float to the top, no matter the topic, opinionated, factual or debunking, nature.

Disagreement is a way to promote dialog.
