I don’t argue or “debate” online. Most online back-and-forth feels pointless and often intentionally inflammatory or in bad faith. I read all the replies I receive, but I rarely respond.

    I’m almost the exact opposite. I like arguing online. I think it’s because of me being gigantic IRL that people don’t honestly argue with me. Online, I’m just pixels on a screen and people will call me out on my bullshit.

    Different strokes for different folk.

    My one rule is to post pictures of Furryosa if she claws me that day.

      Same, but I’m not gigantic and I also love to “argue” IRL. It’s easier IRL too, because people can feel your good vibes and friendly disposition and will more comfortably engage even through disagreements.
