I often wonder if these are real people?

Drinking a coffee, having a little chill with the dog and aimlessly scrolling Instagram and I come across a little video of a guy that’s made a thing with wheels that attaches to wood slabs to help him move them around his workshop. Although the content is irrelevant, it could be anything.

And underneath…

It makes me wonder, are these real people that angry with the world that comments like this make them feel good?

Or are they bots, trying to get engagement & post counts up or something??

You have seen some of the posts on here, haven’t you???

Both. Trolls and bots. Same as (probably) some on here.

Ive used the following example a few times recently after a few similar comments. I’m small (164cm and 58kg) and often get told I can’t move heavy things.

What can lift more? an ant or a pigeon?

Now which one is in better shape?

I now need to know who’s the fittest between an ant and a pigeon. Which one does the most cardio?

irrelevant since ants don’t have lungs.

I now need to know who’s the fittest

If its fittest in the ‘phwaor’ sense then I doubt theres a Fancy Ant Society

Insta/FB is full of it. Easier said than done sometimes but “Never read the comments”

I’m fairness, those in the “perma wars” on here give as good as they get and we have mods of course.

Drac has to deal with us kids with the help of what I refer to as the Zorro Mods.😁

This place is an ocean of calm in comparison to other SM!

“Never read the comments”

Just follow communities about niche interests, problem solved!

I honestly thought those were comments off of here…

I watched a lovely video on YouTube about a 10m long r/c Concorde model. There was an equally interesting comment below about someone’s experience flying on Concorde in the nineties.

All was lovely…but he used the term stewardess. Then someone corrected him to flight attendant, possibly tongue in cheek. Then someone was buzzing in with’this was in the time before we had 69 genders.

And then I was sad because we can’t even have videos of silly big radio controlled planes without the culture wars.

69 genders

“Never read the comments”

Never read the bottom half of the internet.

I don’t think here is quite as bad, although I tend to not read the politics posts etc so I’m probably quite good at avoiding it.

Yeah there’s comments everywhere! Even on the niche groups.

Its people who feel safe to throw insults/abuse around as they’re protected by the internet. The same people who would just keep their gobs shut if it was a face-to-face interaction for fear of getting their teeth knocked out.
