Let's take a look at some of the following data based on my research:
Data from ninjastic.space
- During 2019 "January 1 to December 31", I got data that 759 troll words have been mentioned on the meta board by 195 users.
- During 2020"January 1 to December 31", I got data that 486 troll words have been mentioned on the meta board by 155 users.
- During 2021"January 1 to September 11", I got data that 104 troll words have been mentioned on the meta board by 57 users.
Based on my finding above, have you really noticed that in less than 3 years the trolls on this forum have decreased significantly?
What 'troll words' were you looking for?
While I do feel that trolling has decreased over the last couple of years it does not seem to me that it is as low as your numbers show.
That or I am just less tolerant to the edge cases where it might not be trolling, it just feels like it is.
