It's difficult to have a respectful discussion of disagreements on lemmy.world and sometimes even lemmy.ml, especially since a lot of the users I try to engage with start of with "ewww lemmygrad" and I tend to disengage there. It's just not productive nor is it anything worth my time.
If both parties already agree on a line you won't find any disrespect. And this kind of interaction is one I see most often, especially when it comes down to politics over on lemmy.world...
I think Hexbear has a posting startegy, that I've seen countlessly now, which works well. Start of with good faith discussion, if it goes well continue on the same path, if the other party decides to be a shitty person then post PPB, troll or disengage.
I don't see any of that but maybe I'm in the wrong places. I'm actually really happy to be here because it's nice and people are friendly.
More luck to ya, I wish I could say the same outside of Hexbear and Lemmygrad. Either way, I'm happy lemmy is working out, at least for others.
