It depends on the topic. Some threads you can read the tilte and you already know the comments are going to be arguing. My favorite part of the threadiverse is seeing people argue their point. I think its great that we can have back and forth arguments with long form comments. I'd get bored if every thread was uniform positivity and agreements.
I think there has to be some social awareness otherwise you end up arguing with people who don't want to argue and this can cause the person to feel like they are being attacked.
I, too, have noticed that actually putting forth logic and reasoning in your arguments is a lot more effective than it was on Reddit. It gives me back some faith in humanity.
I've definitely read a lot of really interesting and perspective changing posts here but I've also experienced that a lot on reddit (pre 2016) after 2016 not so much.
