If someone is an obvious tankie or far-right troll, just be like "Lol loser" and never elaborate further.

If you had made the effort to remix the meme by changing it to say lemmy, I'd've upvoted.

Yeah arguing on the Internet is a waste of time which is why I don't do it much anymore unless I feel very strongly that someone's reply to my comment needs to be disputed.

Most of the time I make my point then don't bother responding to any replies. It's much more pleasant to respond when it's you're not arguing, just discussing something interesting.

I am slightly concerned that I recognized the anime source from that one frame 😅 To be fair it is a fantastic series! Check out Paranoia Agent if you can 🍿

About 60% of posts and comments on reddit are made by bots anyway, so except for really niche communities replying doesn‘t add anything to the conversation. I abandoned reddit a few years ago because of this, bulletin boards and small community sites are way more civilized and have no annoying astroturfing campaigns and israel/industrial complex shills.

yeah, no one changes their mind because of words on a screen. if you can't reach out and slap the shit out of them your point will never get across.

I've wasted SO MANY hours arguing with stupid people on reddit....

I am never spending 20 minutes on any comment ever.

I do this all the time with regular comments! I get sidetracked by life, come back and see this giant post i was making and go eh who cares and back out.

Yeh I've stopped myself from making negative comments before, you aren't changing anyone's mind and it's probably gonna get you banned
