I actually saw someone change their mind in a heated thread. It was amazing.
What open mindedness does to a mf
It used to happen on Reddit.
Then the Trumpening...
Yeah, on Reddit, especially in bigger communities, if you admitted you were wrong about something (or not at least technically correct in some way), you'd get downvoted and had asshats commenting how dumb you are, so they'd get upvoted for that.
Here, there's less people to dunk on you, and I imagine, also just fewer kids, who need the validation from dunking and aren't yet as self-reflected...
