Speaking in an offensive manner is not trolling. Trolling is low-effort posts designed to elicit a response. Reddit and Lemmy both have a huge problem with everyone thinking that because someone disagrees with them, and they're not being "nice about it", that it means they're a troll.
That's not what a troll is. Being nice isn't a requirement for discussion.
I got banned from a... what are we calling them... sublemmy?... on here for being 'aggressively negative'. I voiced my disapproval of a character that I didn't like in a TV show, which included one F-bomb. Some people on here are way too sensitive.
You can't fucking do that. You gotta be respectful and shit.
I fuckin' know! Text has no vocal or body language cues so I guess to one person, my use of the word 'fucking' can seem aggressive while to another it is just normal.
