debates fine but you don't need to finish it or win it. Its a process.

Also don't forget that a considerable number of the users that would engage in a debate with you are either children or bots.

The internet would be a different place if you always got to see a picture of who you're arguing with (people would immediately see that I can't be wrong)

Peaceful arguments is just not a thing online. There is no learning nor seeing the other perspective - Just people being defensive and manipulative.

It unfortunately also not a thing in real life. Tried to convince my mother's partner that transphobia and homophobia is bad. Best I could do is to him admit it was not about "protecting the children".

It never has been and never will be about protecting the children, not with the full roster of diddlers they keep in positions of authority...

If it were constructive it would be called a discussion, not an argument or debate.

It is possible, but especially in the bigger communities its usually just throwing poop at each other(that's at least my experience).

Anything that costs me peace of mind is too expensive for my tastes
