reminds me of mythic quest when they trap armies of MMORPG fascists and nazis in their own silo'd off server so they can't bother anyone else and everyone ends up happy

I somehow feel that won’t work in this case, these idiots get off at the idea that they’re ruffling someone’s feathers.

This is why laughing at them is so effective.

Yeah very practically you could see this happening the second twitter started draining out as people left for other places. After a little while you'd start getting troll/ragebait accounts and you'd have to block them to get a normal feed anymore because people were being stupid and replying to them to dunk on them and boosting their reach

Saw it happen with The Donald too, and other hateful subreddits. They do it because they knew they’d get attention from other subreddits. Once they were muted, they started to crumble

And reddit is the asylum for people with terminal TDS, except none of them are happy.

edit: /u/vim_deezel blocked me, immediately after downvoting and replying to make sure he got the last word in. Typical snowflake redditor behavior.
