    When you realize you’ve been arguing with the same person in one thread that you’re having a civil discussion with in another thread

      And that can be cool! Discussions can get heated sometimes and that can be healthy. Debate is awesome as long as both people are willing to be possibly be proven wrong or stop the conversation when it is unresolvable.

      If you can agree in one thread and disagree in another, awesome.

      Discussions on the internets can devolve into ad hominem attacks quickly though. Another thing I noticed is that it’s very tempting to “get the last word in”, at all costs. Both of these things suck ass.

      Words are hard. Words are harder when you type them. Words change meaning based on your frame of mind or specific biases. (Can someone please invent telepathy???)

    I’ve had my fair share of disagreements with other prominent lemmings, but I’m happy to say I haven’t mixed threads yet. My favorite part is knowing that even with our disagreements, I can still have fun with those folks in other threads

      I’ve seen some that follow other accounts around and comment on everything they post/comment because they’re salty about an argument in another thread. It’s strange to say the least.

        The latest update to Lemmy made that sort of thing much easier to moderate, as it includes a small suite of anti-harassment tools.

      There’s an extension for it on Firefox. Too bad some apps make it a premium/subscription feature.

      That was pretty much the only reason why I stuck with reddit for as long as I did; auto tagging. Although one thing really nice about the federation is that most sh.itheads tend to stick to the same few instances so tagging is almost not necessary.
