Ohhh, I didn't know that #sealioning was an actual thing. I thought sealions in one's instance was just a cute absurd thing.
To @RichieRich, @truls46, and @Malik:
I've been observing @Mathemagician to find he follows hashtags like #Nazi and #fascism in order to act as a sealion. He is defending fascism, by pretending you need to be civil about it.

@rowenamonde More folks need to #learn about online #sealioning abuses & stop #enabling that lower level, equally #dangerous #racist shit.

I really think too many people stress themselves when faced with an objectionable individual in their replies. Learn from the Scots. 'Get tae fuck' will normally suffice and is far wiser than attempts at 'civil' or 'rational' discourse. Then just pat yourself on the head for having wasted as little thought and energy on the matter as was humanly possible 😊🏴 #gaslighting #trolling #sealioning

Ein wunderbares Beispiel für #sealioning . Jetzt sind die #Trolle leider auch auf mastodon angekommen.

@DennisKuester jetzt hab ich den Fachbegriff gefunden: #sealioning . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

I have been caught up with a #sealioning attack on #globalwarming involving the work of #EuniceFoote
I think The Royal Society can be trusted.

Sea Lioning!
OMG! You learn something new every day!
I had no idea what "Sea Lioning" was until this cartoon was shared with me demonstrating the provenance of the meme.
(I didn't even know Sea Lioning was a meme!)
As an online Olde Timer -- here since the old CompuServe dial up days -- I've dealt with Sea "I'm just asking questions!" Lions, without understanding just how down and dirty they really are at being expert Trolls!
Venting ahead ⚠️
It's entertaining (/i hate it) that ppl say "unpopular opinion!" when really it's very popular - just very shitty (racist, sexist, #contrarian) & they want permission to express it as legit. #sealioning
Like that fuckin red scare balloon. The Pirate of the Caribbean abusing his gf. I don't need every famous asshole's opinion (or those who fancy themselves journalists or #influencers).

Zojuist degene die mij ooit overtuigde om vegetariër te worden geblokkeerd. Die drang om als niet-veganist het eigen gedrag goed te praten, ben ik wel gewend. Maar het steevast verdraaien van wat iemand zegt is zeer hinderlijk. Dan ben je geen goede gesprekspartner meer, maar een zuiger. #sealioning
