Like people just assume every reply they get is a debate
This is definitely true! Whenever I saw I had replies on reddit, my first thought was always oh fuck who did i piss off this time. Here, I'm genuinely happy and interested to receive replies because the mood here isn't so combative.
My favorite one of these was when someone posted the Parenti quote from Blackshirts and Reds about the Ford plant in Cologne, Germany that Allied bombers were instructed not to hit; I think it was in /r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM or some similar radlib-adjacent sub, and one of the replies was someone demanding sources and insisting that they were going to fact-check Michael goddamned Parenti. lmao
Oh same. My first read of every reply I get on reddit is hostile, I just assume I'm about to get in a fight with some brainwormed lib or literal nazi. I really should stop checking it

I don't think we can have that simultaneously with no downbears. People (not you) need to know when they had a bad take!
