  • Sanction suggested, RFC please

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Thu Mar 17 17:11:10 2022
    I guess we should be proud that the mighty Glavset troll factory in Russia think that it's worthwhile to divert trolls to our humble network.

    And I'm still a free speech absolutist (tm. Elon Musk) so I will never ask anyone to censor anything. What we can do, is we all unite upon a sanction: we *do not comment* on anything from those trolls, and their attempt to pour poison in our community.

    The trolls are easily spotted:

    1. They use almost perfect English, sometimes better than the average Russian friends of ours.

    2. They are new, while we see very little from our real Russian friends.

    3. They claim to have access to western media outlets. This means that they are not affected by the western sanctions, that unfortunately leave the ordinary Russian out of means to communicate.

    4. They burn easily, like all trolls, when they get the spotlight on them.

    Please don't use the above as an exact way, because most of our old Russian friends easily pass one or more of the above criteria, and those we absolutely will not leave out. Just think twice before you write a comment here.

    RFC please

    That is a good idea. I support him.
