Lidando com trolls online na Economia do Criador. Como você se mantém profissional em meio à negatividade?

If you are on social media, there is no way you will be able to avoid trolls, no matter how good you are at what you do. But given a little mindfulness you can easily spot and avoid trolls from getting into your head. Whenever you see someone randomly pushing a particular agenda over any post or comments, raise the first red flag. If you find the person is only putting their perspective forward without even considering what others are saying, raise second red flag. And finally if you see that the person has started responding with negative and hate comments to others, this should be strike three, final and third red flag. Now you have successfully spotted a Troll.

I personally found that recognizing trolls early on is like spotting a storm before it hits. The faster you identify their nonsense, the quicker you can shut it down or ignore it entirely. Trolls thrive on drama, so knowing they’re just there to provoke saves you from wasting time and energy on pointless arguments.

Dealing with online trolls requires maintaining professionalism and composure. When faced with negativity, it’s important to assess whether a response is necessary; often, ignoring trolls can be the most effective approach. If you choose to engage, respond calmly and constructively, reinforcing community guidelines while focusing on the supportive comments from your audience to foster a positive atmosphere.

The anonymity of the internet allows for a plethora of trolls. When they engage in malicious remarks early it's easy to identify them, but when they mask as a person who genuinely seeks to connect with you, it gets a bit harder to see them. Not all trolls are green. If something feels off about a conversation, it likely is. Until you are comfortable, keep them at arms length.

Here’s a hot take—sometimes the strongest response is no response at all. I’ve noticed that when you ignore trolls, it’s like starving a fire of oxygen. If you do feel the need to reply, keep it cool and professional. It’s not about winning; it’s about showing your audience you won’t be dragged into the mud.

In my experience, any response to trolls is what they want, so I generally do not respond at all, but when I do decide to, I generally thank them for spending their time on my content and helping it rank with the algorithm. At the end of the day, the haters are in the comments, but not at the bank.

Sometimes the best move is to simply ignore the trolls, other times it may make sense to engage directly with them. Either route, it should be a strategic choice and not guided by knee-jerk emotional reactions. Many creators and entrepreneurs don't deal with negativity well, for those it's best not to be exposed to it and have others deal with the issue.

With online trolls, setting boundaries is a game-changer. I’ve learned that having a clear comment policy not only protects your mental space but also sets the tone for your entire community. You’ve got to decide what’s acceptable and be ready to enforce it. Deleting or blocking isn’t censorship; it’s maintaining your space.

Not only will setting boundaries allow you the peace of mind for how you will handle trolls, but it also will protect your mental health. Paying any attention to the negative comments hurt far worse than you would imagine.

People tend to forget that a strong, positive community is your best defense against trolls. I’ve seen that when you foster genuine connections with your audience, they’ll often step in to defend you, drowning out the negativity. It’s like having your own army of supporters who keep things positive and on track.

Okay guys, hot take—self-care isn’t just about bubble baths; it’s about survival in the Creator Economy. Dealing with trolls can mess with your head if you’re not careful. I found that taking regular breaks, setting social media limits, and having a support system are non-negotiable for staying sane and keeping your creative juices flowing.

Staying centered on your self, but not being self-centered, is critical to your health and well being. Taking a day off from social media to spend time with family, getting some fresh air outside, or even just something as simple as watching a movie and just taking a moment to relax your mind. Content creation is a marathon, not a sprint.
