Yeah, concern trolling is great for this. "Oh my god, Jennifer's account has been hacked by some bot selling essential oils! Someone should call her up and tell her so she can change her password."
That's a really good one
What the hell is this link
This might be a bot, careful what links you click
"Pretty sure that's a bot everybody, careful what links you click"
I'll start. "Ah, someone got their account stolen"
*stolen
Fixing it thank you!
"FYI, some troll hacked your account and is posting stupid shit."
I’m so glad I didn’t have to grow up with “a general school chat.” Sounds like a fucking nightmare.
Well it's a society discord, but there is like 700 people on it and they just posted in general
That's...odd.
But then again smart phones weren't a thing when I was in school so most of this kinda stuff seems odd to me. I'm with the other guy, I'm glad I never had to deal with any nonsense resembling this.
Yeah 100%. School was hard enough pre-social media.
I can't fathom how anyone would enjoy being on a Discord server with more than a few dozen active users, and even then, more than a dozen or so active users at any given time. Above a certain threshold it just becomes noise.
Unless 97% of them never speak. Which, in my experience, is totally plausible.
Still. Weird way to do socials with schoolmates, imo. I would have expected students to self-select into smaller friend groups on Discord or TikTok or WhatsApp or Snapchat or whatever the hell people use now. Not coalesce into one giant digital town square. Not knockin' it, though. Seems like a neat idea.

Whenever someone has a very traditional, conservative discourse online, I like to ask if their vision is based on movement. 🦖
Oh I love this, this is really really good
I'm really fond of this one... You can use it in so many contexts.

"Yikes".
I can't tell you how much I care what you think. Thanks very much for sharing!
If everyone was as perfect as you, the world would be a very boring place.
Wow. Thousands of years, billions of humans. And I got lucky to find the one human who is the pinnacle of evolution, who possesses all knowledge, has unlocked the secrets of the universe. How did you achieve this? Please, tell me your secret.
"I wonder how much you could really sell them for?" might be too subtle. You might need to bring up https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/22/nfts-worthless-price
You could do something less subtle and say something "Ah, I remember when I collected Beanie Babies. There was this awesome one called Cuddly Buggy that cost me like 3 days of waiting in line and 3,000 dollars! I bet it's worth like 9 million now." Replace beanie babies with Pokemon cards, Magic cards, etc.
"Cool! What are they for?"
A simple “no thanks“ will accomplish that and more. They know exactly what you’re saying because every crypto bro is incredibly defensive, but your plausible deniability is basically 100% airtight and the more they push back against it the more it’ll make others walk away. You just have to 100% lie to their face and say you meant nothing by it.
"Let's change the subject."
I'm going to fuck your dad and give him a child that he actually loves.
I read it as a male and was confused for a few seconds.
I'm a guy too. It's a quote from a female streamer that has been passed around my friend group for a while.
That's not passive aggressive. That's just aggressive.
Especially if he follows through. That's everything but passive 😬
If it's a conservative or religious person trying to justify something:
"That's really interesting, why do you think --insert brief summary of their topic/first sentence-- ?"
Continue this until they realize they've either painted themselves into a corner or they realize I'm trolling them several monologues/pages later. It's the uno reverso card when they try wasting my time.
That's not an insult, it's a specific form of trolling/harassment called sealioning.
That's really interesting. Why do they call it sealioning?

None. I hate pass-aggro; I'd rather be dry (bald-on record) or upfront (plain aggro).
What I'd do in this case depends mostly on
- if I trust some person in power to handle this shit in a smart way. Either one in charge of the group or the school.
- how insistent the NFT scammer is.
- how much I care about other people in the group that might fall for the NFT scam.
For #2 and #3, on best hypothesis (no insistence + I don't care about others) I'd simply answer "not interested". However, get me motivated enough and I'll be rather colourful with language usage, to the best that the platform allows me. Such as:
As I already bloody said over and over and over and over, I do not want your NFT bullshit. "No" means "no" for anyone with basic reading comprehension, unlike you. Your NFTs have zero intrinsic value. You might be able to convince some goddamn morons to join your pyramid scheme, but I'm not doing it. Is this clear??? Stop insisting and fuck off.
Further links for anyone interested: [link associating NFT bullshit to pyramid schemes], [Wikipedia link explaining pyramid schemes] I heavily recommend you guys to read this before buying anything from this guy.
Followed by blocking the moron for the sake of my own sanity.
For NFT specifically I'd link the olive garden NFT project and encourage people to mint those unlimited bread sticks.

"You can do whatever you want"
A lot of the people I encounter are hypochondriacs, and someone asked me if it was me being caring or me being passive-aggressive that I can be found telling them all the things they didn't know they might have. I paused for a moment and replied "...maybe."
Is AI asking this? Ahahaha
No?
"gg git gud" but I only when I lose the match.
I usually ask worthless people to check out reddit. Does that count?
