I hope you don't stop using the #troll tag, I find them incredibly useful. I tend to follow tags like #gender and #racism etc, so it's good to have a tag to let me know whether it's a good post on those topics or someone posting some weird strawman or bigoted view. It just adds more information and I can judge whether I want to get angry by reading ignorance at that point in time, or save it for later.

I was actually getting a little frustrated with Hubski because I had to sort through a bunch of shitposts to find genuine topics, but the #troll tag did exactly what I was looking for.
