A life of fun a world full of comedy
by davebarclay1954
The other day I was having a conversation through here, and it got me thinking about social media. If you look at Facebook and Twitter (two of the biggest known sites) they have one thing in common which they’re trying to change and that, my dear reader, is trolls. This site seems to attract a lot of love and tolerance and I think the reason behind that is down to the sense of community.
I, along with everyone else on here I think, has come into contact with said trolls at some point. However, once I had two visits from trolls following a comment I made but when I tried to report said trolls their accounts had been disabled. Not sure if someone else beat me to it or if WordPress monitors our comments looking for malicious content.
Anyway, to get back to the point I was making, other social sites seem to require more and more personal information from you to maintain your account which means lots of your data is at risk if they are hacked. We only share on here what we want to share which means it is less likely hackers would be interested. I know a lot of people around the world use this blogging tool but there is such a strong feeling of love from each and everyone on here whether you know it, dear reader, or not. I love this site because it reduces boundaries, brings people together and we all share love.

My dear Dave, before I came to WP, I was at several other blogging sites, moved from here and there, trying to find a suitable home for my stories & writings, seem to be so unfortunate, landed at places I do not want to be – FILLED WITH TROLLS of all kinds.
For no particular reasons these types got nothing else to do, but to cause much chaos in everyone’s lives. It is just so terribly disturbing and so, so wrong.
I was bullied for being an Asian, for grammatical errors, called my English as second class, trolling the pictures on families & kids, and anything from critisizing from your pimple, to the colour of your eyes, your speech … and so much more …
I had, had enough of that all and stopped writing for a couple of years until finally a good friend encouraged me to come and try to be on WP.
Until now, I am more than being satisfied where I am and no political pressure has been made by anyone, nor any racism remark that came from anyone. I am glad for now, no trolls at my place.
Hope that people are supporting each other in this matter and get all the TROLLS out from this place.
Welcome to (as far as possible) a troll free zone. Hate has no place here, and is not welcome. Hope you find it as full of love as I have.
Oh, yes, I do, Dave!
I’m glad I did.
I find and got to learned so many talented people in this place who has the heart and great mind.
I really love it being here.
So, far I met no trolls here. And I hope that it stays so.
I wish you a lovely Sunday, Dave!
Take care!
Sherrie, thank you and I hope you have a great week.
I couldn’t agree more with you. I’ve had maybe one or two trolls in my 2 years on here but that’s about it. The friendship and support from this community beats any other
Amazing isn’t it? Let’s keep sharing the love xoxo
I know right? Facebook wouldn’t let me go until I gave up my cell phone number. I then had to go and make it private.
I’m so pleased I left facebook over 5 years ago before they made it so difficult to leave.
I should go as well.
I’ve never looked back, John, my wife still has her account and she complains about it a lot. Every change seems to make it worse.
Not to mention some of the stuff on there.
John, it’s too full of trolls as well, why should so many suffer at the hands of a few ignorant hate fuelled fools? That’s why I’m still here because I’ve encountered 2 in my years on here whose accounts are no more. Love and peace my friend, there’s far too little of that around that gets the headlines. Mainly we see the effects of war and hate because that sells, apparently.
I agree. We can do our part and publish positive stuff.
Exactly, John. Let’s cheer down with the rest.
Here have a drink.
Cheers
🙂
I too avoid sites who ask for too much information/personal data, then dish them out to hackers.
