Yup. Back in the day on Reddit I was expert at analyzing the language patterns of the trolls. Unfortunately I am seeing the same both from trolls and certain mods of another .win.
Some of the trolls definitely have personality disorders, that is, they have and exhibit narcissist personality disorder (NPD) and some have so many of the traits of sociopaths I can confidently classify them as those too.
On Reddit they were characterizable as seeking extreme power over others, and manifesting it through bans, blocks, bot swarm downvotes. Regretfully we are seeing some of that same behavior here, which suggests to me they have migrated over here. I'm pretty sure the key chief troll from there has installed himself in one of the .wins, and comments from people show it's not my imagination because he's hammered them.
I can only hope that you and the other sane mods can offset the infiltrations. But one of their Reddit tactics was to install many alts as mods and then run them to support each other, using software power tools.
If we cant agree that we are here to learn and converse about subjects that are niche-fringe-minority-taboo, what exactly is the point of dividing into a bunch of communities where people with such personality disorders can be motivated to create strife across the platform, sitting with the analytic and moderation tools that allow such types to create diabolic strategies that most of us dont see until they are played out, cause we are not privy to the play book, and our lives are too busy to contemplate 'what if strategies' against the dastardly deeds of a basement authoritarian?
Cat5 on tgw?
