I mean your experience might differ from mine; I'm just a lot more familiar with bad faith accusations of the tactic than with the tactic itself. For me it's in the same category as "Russian bots" or "sealioning"; my default is to assume that the person being described as a concern troll is the sensible one.

My experience with "concern trolling" is that it's usually a charge leveled by progressives to enforce their echo chambers. After one of my old forums went aggressively woke, anybody who fell short of total enthusiasm for the ever-changing party line was condemned as a fascist concern troll.
