<p>Hinweis zum richtigen Umgang mit <a href="/tags/trolling/" rel="tag">#Trolling</a> </p><p>Seit der Amtszeit <a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#Trump</a> I habe ich es mit teilweise professionellen Trollen & Hatern aus dem In- & Ausland zu tun. Einige konnten wir auch schon zur Rechenschaft ziehen, andere handeln im Auftrag.</p><p>Eine Lehre aus Erfahrung: Leitet bitte KEINE Hass-Nachrichten, Screenshots von Trollen an Betroffene weiter, fordert uns nicht zu Stellungnahmen o.ä. auf. </p><p>Zeit ist genau das, was Trolle stehlen wollen. Löschen reicht.
