  That’s not how it plays out though that’s my entire point.

    For the most part it is how it plays out.

    There may be exceptions but the benefits far outweigh the downsides.

    Even just lurking on mastodon is frustrating because there is nothing to be done about trolls but engage or ignore and we all know folks can’t help but engage; it’s trolls raison d’être.

    I generally assume those complaining about downvotes existing are frustrated trolls.

        I don’t think Reddit is user-centric enough for deplatforming to be useful.
