At least that's how it looks like looking at the reports I get.
So many people talk at each other rather than taking to each other.
The idea of talking to each other is flawed anyway. The fact that there are 2 sides to a discussion doesn't automatically validate both sides. Sometimes, many times one side is just objectively wrong.
There's also a third audience most people don't consider: everyone reading the thread that isn't engaging directly.
You might not convince the direct 'opponent' in an internet debate, but can still make an impact on others that might be more open to listening to a new perspective.
Good thing this never happens on Lemmy.
Yea, this is exactly my point after seeing the reports I get on lemmy.
