Pros: it will be exciting and engaging to see someone with a federated name and the notice their opinion being dogshit
Cons: mathematically proven to not have cons

Tbh I don't think anyone is ever going to be convinced online. Hexbear is mostly a safe space for communists and other sympathetic parties to hang out. If someone sees the content and wants to participate then they've been activated elsewhere. If they don't, then I doubt any amount of performative civility would undo the propaganda filling their skull and would only create a less safe space for our minority comrades.
Changing minds is the purview of real life interactions
Idk about this. My mind was changed online and it happened through people who were nice and explained things to me. Then again, i approached if with an open mind, and most lemmy libs dont.
Yeah that's fair, I slowly came around as a lurker and from my partner gently opposing my shitty takes like 'there can be good billionaires'
I think most open minded people fall into some amount of "activated" in my previous post as I think once you begin actually questioning it's only a matter of time. That's probably a bit too optimistic though
