Genuine question:the other day, you made a post about arguments you should respond to vs when you’re just feeding trolls.As someone who has a hard time finding that line myself, when would you advise to engage vs not engage?Thank you for your time.
As a rule of thumb:
➡️ When the post does not have a large reach, or wide audience, and is unlikely to be seen by many people– do not engage.
➡️ When the post has a large reach, a wide audience, or is likely to be seen by many people, feel free to engage.
➡️ There is one time when you might want to engage with a post that does not have a large audience– if the post has a simple, easy to debunk claim in it that you can clearly refute with a short reply.
➡️ Do NOT let yourself get lost in writing multi-paragraph responses to junk that no one else would see anyway. It only wastes your energy for no good reason.
