Sounds like that antiyank guy. Always looking for the latest drama.
Probably a lot of russian trolls as well
Yes some people love to argue. I get it, I think arguing with others is fun. It’s not so great online tho. It’s empty and soul-less.
theres also Bots/ai arguing against other bots to sow dissent.

This is one of those stupid articles that are like “water is wet says a new study” and far more people than it should be say “holy fuck it’s wet when I wash things. It must mean I wash things with water. Omgomgomgomg!!”
No shit users are trolls on reddit.
It’s called being contrarian, and it’s not just Reddit users. I have several family members like this.
I’d also argue it’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’re talking shit be sure you’re able to back it up. I am naturally contrarian but in many cases it’s less about what I feel and more about taking the side of the voice that is missing.
Wow this guy really loves to disagree
No he doesn’t!
HAVE YOU EVEN READ OP?
This post feels like bait
Thanks AI… Using tremendous amounts of energy and technology to tell us something that anyone paying attention would have already known
no they dont
That’s not an argument, that’s a contradiction!
This is abuse, arguments are down the hall.
No it’s not!
BUT
source?
no… no!!! that’s impossible!!!
It’s called a dialectic.
Omg no it isn’t!
This is literally the point, there is a clear difference between a hegelian dialectic and brute-force manichaeanism.
Social media has allowed us to perceive the one as the other.
Now everybody thinks they’re the only righteous ones and anyone who deviates from their strict
opiniondogma is evil.I dropped this /s
Thats not true
No it’s not!
I disagree
Disagreement is a way to promote dialog.
It’s also a way to manufacture dissent and foster division.
No it isnt
Sources?
/s
on what planet do you exist on where everybody is 200% aligned lol
north korea?
Only if you are a tankie?
Do i need a /s ?
No sir!
I agree
Wrong.
Bizarre to have a headline claiming five “types” were identified, but then only describe the behavior of a single type. What are the other four?
There’s way more than five. (bugger - the images seem to be gone from that old site)
Survivor bias aside, I’m not sure the UI doesn’t make this drive-by trolling worse. The reddit UI (hi Lemmy) is threaded but disjoint, and the excellent response to one tree of responses isn’t useful to or seen in another tree – and those trees will develop in parallel in almost every discussion.
I worry that quips and cheap takes stand out because they’re fast and block actual discussion more, so have that mock ‘finalising’ effect. Ending a discussion thread is not concluding it .
… and we all have that cousin whom no one invites anywhere because he’ll argue the shit out of something like a jackal worrying a carcass, until people just give up and let him wander smugly off to his little corner in contrarian triumph.
*whomst
I disagree.
I think you’re wrong.
Well ackshually…
I disagree
OBJECTION!
OVERRULED!

Then we agree to disagree
It’s not something you can agree or not, it’s a fact!
