> Most markets in existence are in meatspace, and trolls in meatspace risk life and limb. Online, the costs of trolling are much lower, which is why trolling threatens to destroy everything good on the internet.
Yes, since traditionally the cost of trolling is ~the cost of the time of the troll. Do you think the internet would look the same if there would be enforceable fines on slurs in Tweets or Youtube comments? More relatedly, have trolls managed to destroy Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are based exactly on those anti-trolling mechanics of rational players being in place?
