Yes and no. People here, which are few, truly will speak their mind. However any user might tend to take the "politically correct" road too often. Which may be entirely due to the thumb-up/down system. If you're worried at all about the majority ruling, you'll see the users justifications for each and every troll-post. "Oh you murdered your family and fap to this thought? -- You simply lacked love and nurture, like Hitler, ya' know? He was unloved, too. He could have been saved. It's normal, is basically I'm trying to say".
Although for every thumb-hunter, there is that great comment, of sound mind and unrelenting honesty. This usually being the -3 thumbed down user. Whattayagondo.
Anonymous sites are much better than the appeasing nature you find on Facebook and Twitter. Instagram... (aka insta-gratification) just...no.. #justgotouttagym #arenticute #validation #PLEASE?
Well okay. Yes and no to your yes and no. I think the thumb system mostly encourages trolls who think a thumb count of -7 is a badge of honor. But more importantly, I have noticed that here at IIN, empathy does very little to up your count.
Well yes and no.
While some trolls intentions are incessantly trying to offend users or leave crude comments, their - 7 (which I've never seen here, yet) does not get them far. As the thumb system removes their ability to comment. Meaning 1-2 max comments -- they are usually gone by then and headed toward a third/fourth/fifth account. It seems trolling is a teeny tiny problem here. Frequent user's laments (regarding the users they hate) is much more rampant than trolls, trolling.
I see the biggest spike in posts, where people cannot differentiate between "troll post" or a serious question. Making the comments section, "well if you're not trolling X" and so on. So posting-trolls are more likely, than comment trolls.
iin i think IIN is frequently used as an alternative to social media?

I have noticed that as well. BTW, -7 was the lowest count I have ever seen.
