You've always been a good one, citizen X.
It's just the same few people who constantly do nothing besides come on here and try to feel better about themselves so they badger people. It's the constant badgering that annoys me not the once in a while disrespectful post. Also, personal things shouldn't be trolled about. Poke fun? Sure..but to keep bringing up the same thing about a user gives everyone a headache.
I feel you though, citizen X.

I'm somewhat confused as to the functionality of this thread.
I'd love to be nice to everyone, but in many cases that's just not the best option unless all you're striving for is meaningless temporary good feels. IMO it's just not the best option for either the person who has something to say, or the person who may have something they need to hear, in many cases.
I feel like the true trolls... the fairly rare but not uncommon urine therapy evangelists, oceanshore's, the white power gang ie 5150, XUL etc are well known, and otherwise things seem to flow without too much issue.
Trying to eliminate conflict just seems like an ego issue, IMO just let shit be what it is, it's pretty apparent to everyone when someone here's sole existence is to shitpost or push the limit... I feel like us peasants would like the mods to just drop them and the rest will flourish as is.
If you have long-term respected members that are seemingly trading blows, maybe there's a usefulness in that and it'll play out over time.
No family has only good times... There's a reason for that
just my opinion of course. to all my shroomy homies

I don't think oceanshore's a troll. He just doesn't have very good social skills, and is lonely.

Honestly I don't know anything about them but was just using them as the token puppet/troll example because it's so frequent they come back with a new name

Lets have a good time WITH each other and not AT THE EXPENSE OF each other.
If someone does something you really don't agree with, don't start clubbing them like a seal with meanspirited attacks.
Of course we often don't agree - but lets agree that this is a mushroom patch and not a battlefield. Treat it with respect, even if you don't eat the mushrooms.
The Shroomery is a living thing, an organic hive mind.
Actually very much like a beehive.
Imagine a beehive where the bees ended up stinging one another. The colony would collapse.
Lets not have this colony collapse. ...
Alternative perspecitve let's create a place where we can say things to one another that seem hurtful to cauterize the wounds we gain whenever we attempt to venture back into the world of the normies not a place where we hate each other, but a place where we can say we hate each other and know that it comes from a place of love
my hatred of everything has already coloured the intended sentiment behind making this post
Quote:
In a recent post to the popular meme-sharing platform 9gag, two side-by-side storybook illustrations depict a girl watching snowflakes fall outside her bedroom window. The left panel is titled “kids then”: In a thought bubble, the girl wistfully muses, “I sure hope they cancel school for all this snow.” The right panel is “kids now.” The girl looks at the snow outside and thinks, “I hope a car loses traction on the ice and rams into me and I fucking die tomorrow.”
This is a joke—and apparently a very relatable one for its target demographic, the millions of Generation Y and Z digital natives for whom memes are a mother tongue. A casual scroll on 9gag, which receives 3.5 billion page views a month, will turn up dozens of memes daily about self-harm or wanting to die, and young people are sharing, retweeting, and reblogging similar content across the social-media landscape. You’ll find storybook illustrations doctored to show children dreaming of grisly deaths, SpongeBob joyfully flailing to his doom during a bank stickup, and Obama about to throw himself off a bridge.
At first blush, these jokes couldn’t be in poorer taste. The World Health Organization ranks suicide as the second leading cause of death for youth worldwide. In the United States, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed staggering 70 and 77 percent increases in suicide rates of white and black teens, respectively, between 2006 and 2016. In response, public-health officials and tech giants alike have been cracking down on potentially dangerous messaging on self-harm. Last Friday, Instagram rolled out a new policy banning “graphic” depictions of self-harm or suicide.
But memes about suicide remain largely uncharted territory. While disturbing, they’re far less graphic than actual depictions. And they’re often darkly funny. As the gatekeepers of social media are wrestling with how to police this trend, some suicide-prevention experts see a window of opportunity. Typically, suicide memers aren’t mocking suicidal thoughts; they’re commiserating and bonding over being suicidal. Morbid memes, these experts believe, may be a foot in the door to one of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations: socially isolated young people.

Haha, I used to think it was a performance art piece too. But nah, just a person with mental health issues beyond the scope of what I can understand. Funny this even comes up, last night I was skimming a 3.5 year old thread, and people were discussing wtf was going on with the Oceanshore acct way back then. I was surprised because it doesn’t feel like that long, but it is. Good luck out there, Oceanshore.

You can tell someones age based solely on what they think "troll" means. Boomers always think it means anyone on the internet who is a meanyhead.

I think there's maybe 5 or so "boomers" in here (people over 55), and I caught the gen X category/last of the boomers.1965 here.
What is a Baby Boomer? Baby boomer is a term used to describe a person who was born between 1946 and 1964
