I do feel like this place encourages discussions rather than arguments

It's really wonderful that way! It's just a hard habit to break when people first come over here, or are still settling into the vibe. We've all been trained out outrage, giving or defending against it. Here, nuance, discourse, and vibes can often reign supreme. ❤️👊

Maki Itoh: More of less middle fingers? Discuss.

MORE. Always! 😂

Agreed.

Twitter works of engagement, most often via rage bait or negativity because it gets people talking, usually to defend against it. That isn't a thing here. There's no algorithm or financial incentive to boost accounts by engagement.

So you're essentially just yelling about what some crazy person at the nazi bar said, completely out of the blue.
