How to be a #Cyberpaladin

 

 
I am adapting this for Facebook but here's how I operate on Twitter.

#cyberpaladin Training Manual

To be a #cyberpaladin (fun & makes Twitter so much more calm for you) you need a Sword of Belittling, Sandals of Dustiness, and Shield of Muting.
Step 1: Spot a troll of any persuasion doing its thing.
Step 2: Poke with Sword. I usually mention low follower number, bots, & Russia. Good buttons.
Step 3: say “I shake the dust off my sandals in your general direction.” (Half Christ, half Monty Python French taunter)
Step 4: go to profile & report as suspicious, fake, or abusive if appropriate.
Step 5: Raise Shield of Muting, block if necessary.
Step 6: Let Twitter do their job & collect trophy when report comes back.
Use a single post. Don't get drawn into an argument. Just get the creature ranting then let Twitter comb through it.


The Fake Account option is really nice now. It depends on how you report and how many others do. If you are defending yourself. they ignore it. Jump in, attract the rant to you, ignore it while reporting that they are attacking others and they take more notice.

Happy hunting. It's up to you.
