Let’s take a trip on DMT. Welcome to the Dank Microwave Taco or DMT for short. Anything and everything goes in here. Be sure to share your experience on DMT with your friends, family and social media. @WiggleHard bans nothing and exiles nobody (Dont doxx wolfballs users, no posting of porn/nudes or foot fetish material unless it involves political scandals, no ads for sex sites or dating sites; do that on your own time, no solicitation for pyramid scams, no posting job advertisements unless from official job sites, no posts supporting pedophilia, not all love is love) also: (we cannot allow violations of the patriot act concerning how we speak, no calls for violence, suggesting you are personally harming someone ect. These things are not free speech protected by law but actually against the law and could get the website shut down.) (no spam posting, especially spam posting of what could be considered symbols of hate) examples: guy posting nazi flag 5 times in one day, guy posting “whitey is the devil over and over, im going to use my best judgement on this one rule)

As I was browsing the wider fediverse today this came to my mind: Don't appear too confident with your opinions. It leaves no room for others voice. This might not apply to internet, but in face-to-face it has been good.
People are more open to discuss and reason their thoughts. They are also more open to hear and see your reasons fairly. Discussion tends to lead to more understanding and promotes respect. It also leads a way to both parties to be closer the truth of matter discussed.
Listening to other options even in controversial strongly felt topics has helped me in adjusting my opinions. Often my opinion is strengthened, but with important insight and understanding of different reasoning. Sometimes I've had to abandon my previous assumption based on new information. And that is good.
Horde mentality and confrontional minds are poison to this and I don't know if there's any single right solution to these. But I believe striving for this is still the way to go.
TL;DR: appear and discuss at same level if possible
Great advice, thank you and sometime in the near future, I will give you a longer response
