Real life dystopia has become so boring, people not directly involved intensify drama online to bring the conflict into their online lives.

An opinion piece I find quite fitting for Lemmy as well. I wonder how a "boring" just fact based rational social media would look like?

I'm not sure what the editorial author wants everyone to do.

Be critical thinkers, try to be effective, but when people demonstrate incomplete logic, engaging with them is a useful exercise. Either your logic is wrong, or their logic is wrong, and a healthy mature discourse will help you both develop better positions

I was talking with someone on here yesterday who provided a balanced arguement (that disagreed with mine) and provided a number of sources.

I was gutted their comment was deleted so I couldn't reply.

Go to your Lemmy messages, all messages, copy and paste their deleted message, so you can still manually reply to it. It doesn't have to be lost forever
