These users specifically seek out opportunities to post contradictory comments, especially in response to disagreement, and then move on without waiting for replies.
Ah okay but you won’t respond to this.

You can post a comment disagreeing and not reply. Not every comment has to be seeking out “worthwhile debates”

still missing the point. the article is about people who showed a clear pattern of doing it way more than others.

I didnt say a couple of comments. I said to some people there is no point in commenting if you agree with the majority opinion. Thus all your comments end up being disagreeing.
The study identified this behaviour as a subset of users and labeled that as trolls which could be moderated before “causing harm” thats insane to me.

Only commenting when you disagree makes plenty of sense, but then ALSO NEVER going into debate? What’s the point of that? If anything, replies to your comments would be the most interesting place to have more disagreements.
But if you only care about karma or drama, then threads aren’t worth your time.
Even if you don’t do it on purpose (idk maybe it’s people who don’t understand the orange envelope) it doesn’t contribute much nice to a community.
