My take on debating on Bluesky is that dedicated forums on a particular topic are for debate, social media sites are for having a slow mental breakdown with your friends

debating is stupid. online debating is impossible. what people call "debating" is usually a bunch of shouting and chest bumping with the occasional cry of "ad hom! ad hom!" sprinkled in there to indicate Trained In Logics And Shit.
you can learn a lot more by -discussion- where no one has to "win."
or, no, I had added something to the conversation that was meant to be "adding something to the conversation," and the guy took it as "dick measuring." Wtf.
I actually let it slide because I had found our conversation valuable in other respects, and then the next day he pulled that kind of shit again, going debate-me even after I had conceded his point and said several time to let it go.
In the UK on BBC4 on Friday nights from 7pm, they broadcast archive editions of the chart show Top Of The Pops ( #TOTP ) and the many posts that attracts are a combination of both, from fandoms slugging it out to crying with your friends "how was that 40 years ago?"
Listener up there! what have you to confide to me?
Look in my face while I snuff the sidle of evening,
(Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I stay only a minute longer.)
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
If your breakdown is proceeding too quickly, you're doing it wrong. Mute your threads, clear your notifications, then close and immediately reopen the app to try again.
look, the thing is that we need quality dunks. and to have quality dunks we need the weirdest sickos and bozos in the world earnestly trying to debate each other. the slow mental breakdown with our friends is an emergent property of that delicately balanced system
... But a lot of those forums are the opposite: you'll have a fast mental breakdown in front of randos, who don't even understand debate in the first place. Pick your poison lol

Fuck a "debate" but I love a good tip from people who know more about it than me, & they are pretty easy to find here.
