I agree, I think we do need to engage in these communities, but we have to be careful to avoid feeding the trolls. I find the only value is to provide information for other people who might read the thread, but it’s so easy to just go down a rabbit hole. I catch myself doing that all the time, and then I’m like why did I keep replying.
I do think that multiple people replying once and explaining why the troll is wrong is a lot more effective than a single person trying to debate them though.
