Hear, hear! I miss the days when trolling used to mean piss take. If someone is trolling, troll them back!

Somehow people forgot to give other the people this memo, including the "you don't fucking join social networks as your self". Anonymity makes this all work.

I do get into political debates, but I don't overshare my real info and I certainly don't ban anyone for disagreeing with me. I find it cringe if anyone bans someone for disagreement to maintain "mental health". Unless someone is stalking or making a calculated harrasment on the person online, sure ban or report the troll, but banning someone because the person does not have a good response shows pettiness and immaturity.

Yeah the block and ban thing these days is really weird.

If someone is harassing you, then I guess it makes sense. But otherwise why do people do that?
