If you express your viewpoint in a kind way, that's genuinely the most "winning" you can possibly achieve.

Convincing people in one go is not achievable by just finding the right words.

People may disagree. They may downvote you to hell. They may thank you. They may agree. They may misunderstand.

But as long as you write kindly, people will read what you say and give it thought. Maybe it plants a seed for them to change their mind another time.

There's also the trolls who argue in bad faith and only go online to bully.

Lemmy was trolls free at first, but then the Reddit dingle berries and grammar nazi's showed up... and all those turds deserve downvotes. I make it a personal mission to defend users here from bullying when I see it, life's already hard enough.
