Any ideas on what you'd like to see in this forum, or how it could be structured? I'm down to create some CSS design and add some rules to help organize the forum. I like feedback and working with the community in terms of what we would like to see here.

I wouldn't be surprised if this forum becomes a target for trolls, and I'll probably be interested in getting another mod because I won't be here all the time.

Some thoughts!

  • to help people learn to recognise trolls.

  • to post about active trolls so it's out of the way for people who don't want it cluttering their front page.

  • potentially to do some serious investigation about trolls from an antifascist perspective. Seeing as raddle is an antifascist platform, and one of the few things that all of us here will agree on is that we don't want fascist trolls around, it's a point of unity for us in some sense. And because of that, it positions raddle in a meaningful way to contribute to antifascist struggles beyond our space by giving serious thought and analysis to trolls and smart ways of dealing with them. Goals!


Separately maybe setting some guidelines for things for users to do if they think they've recognised a troll? Like protocols? f/trolldissection could be in effect a report button.

Related to this could be some tactics for responding to trolls, experimental or otherwise

Maybe we can do regular reports on what voat/8chan/reddit reactionaries are saying about us.
