@kevinrothrock To be fair, they've also raised *VAST* sums of money to help Ukraine.
Am I going to add some silly dog to my profile? No.
But I will freely admit they've also done a lot of good with all that money raised.
@kevinrothrock It's shades of gray, there are toxic people in any large enough groups.
Painting an entire group of people with the same brush because they have some silly dog in their profile is counter-productive.
@kevinrothrock To quote you "encouraging an online troll movement of mostly anonymous accounts that harasses anyone not in ideological lockstep"
That is painting the entire group of people as entirely trolls. It is painting with such a wide brush that you could cover continents.
Do you really think that is fair?
@kevinrothrock Did I say it was?
Or did I say you're painting an entire group of people with a wide brush as if it was a binary choice of good/bad?
@kevinrothrock It's a bunch of random people with a silly dog in their profile with varying outlooks on life. Some will be toxic, some will be stupid, some will be good.
At the end of the day, painting a vast number of people as singularly trolls because they have some silly profile image reflects more on you than it does them.
@kevinrothrock @markcasey they were actually countering Putin's troll farms and propaganda effectively
They are awesome
