What I really appreciate about Lemmy is that broadly there is an unspoken rule that constructive dialogue is the only option.
You can say something stupid or misinformed, and instead of ripping you to shreds or vilifying you, the fellow strangers that choose to respond will usually do so in a polite, constructive way. They will put effort into their argument to make sure it’s understood and sound.
Once that unwritten rule is no longer abided by, the ship has already left the port and there’s no recovering. I hope it stays that way for the foreseeable future.
