Comment Re:Lol, "activist" is a tad generous (Score 1) 273

People frequently use the word "troll" when they mean "I don't agree with what the person is saying". It is very 2019.

It's pretty much a "dog whistle" now. I put it in the same bucket as other verbal detritus like "And that's a good thing" and found myself actively tuning out and skipping over most comments/articles that lead with "those darn $GROUP_I_DISAGREE_WITH trolls".

If they didn't provide the respondents context, then it's useless and needs to be ignored

It's junk no matter what as you can't rationally generalize all tech workers by the opt-in responses by people subscribed to this Blind app. It would be like generalizing to the general population the results of a survey by the Ann Landers column. Legitimate statistics doesn't work that way.

Good point. It would be better to a respectful period of time - say until the pain of loss has faded - to realize you therefore no longer have emotional motivation to fix the problem.

Yeah, why would we want to take a level headed approach when we can just legislate from the hip on emotional appeal. We're guaranteed to have a great democracy that way

Surely something new will be added to the discussion with this one. Don't forget to hang yourself when it's over.
