Believe it or not “just ignore them“ doesn’t work for many people. There’s a reason 4chan is only popular with a certain demographic.

- dumpsterlid 4y agoYah "just ignore them" really means "it doesnt effect me and I am uninterested in hearing how it actually effects you"
- friend_and_foe 4y agoIt doesn't affect anyone except people who want it to. It's literally some random person whispering into the wind on the internet. I'm uninterested in hearing how it actually affects you because it doesn't actually affect you, you just want to cry about something. "You" in the proverbial sense of course, the way you used it above.
- ceres 4y agoGood for you if you're not affected, I guess. For many people, Internet trolls can cause psychological harm. This is not some obscure thing. Teens have been committing suicide due to bullying on the Internet for decades.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoNot going to 4chan is the same thing as just ignoring them. It works perfect.
- krapp 4y agoIt doesn't work, because they don't stay on the chans. They infest every space they can, doing everything they can to be unignorable. They're even on HN.
