> I get what you mean, but would argue that, "it only takes 2-3 trolls plus 300 people who respond to them to create a 300-comment shitshow". An ignored troll is a powerless troll. They get their power to disrupt from the responses, not their words.

I like this idea, but I don't think it's possible to get the shared agreement you discuss. I've never seen an online community where the hands-off, community-ignore method worked. Have you seen one?
