I've already run into multiple people on Lemmy who do what I call the Reddit Special:

1. See an opinion you don't like
2. Intentionally misinterpret the point to mean something else and attack that
3. Support your opinion by arguing backwards from your conclusion
4. Ignore all counterarguments when possible, return to step 2 when not
5. Try to "win" with pithy mic-drop bon mots at the end of your comment
6. Mask upset feelings by trotting out overly slangy 2am Chili style dismissals

For example a conversation I have actually had more than once on Reddit:

Person 1 - "I hate the designated hitter in baseball, it was more fun before, without it"
Person 2 - "Why are you in love with the old days so much? Do you want segregation back too?"
Person 1 - "Are you crazy? I just like it when pitchers bat"
Person 2 - "Lol. Clearly you have issues with being called out on your bigotry"
Person 1 - "You're not listening, I said I like baseball better when pitchers bat"
Persot 2 - "lmaoooo I don't listen to racists"

That goes way back to BBS. reddit couldn't solve that problem and I doubt lemmy can either.
