How do you stop arguing with people on social media? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

Honestly, if you mean Facebook then I salute you for having the patience. If I had to correct the moronic comments I see whenever I use that platform I'd explode. It genuinely made me loose faith in democracy as a system. I honestly don't think half of these people should have a vote.

    Fair play. Instagram I use for reals and that's it. Pure dopamine idiocy. Basically addicted. X I avoid - I didn't even enjoy it as twitter, but now it's just vile. I think Lemmy is the only platform where I actually read and comment tbh. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. One thing's for sure, I should definitely get back into reading books

    Speaking of Facebook, I've been seeing comments there from people who are seemingly completely unaware or in denial of the crimes Trump has committed. Whenever there's a post about how he ought to be removed from office and/or arrested, these people go "on what grounds?" "Name one crime he's committed. I'll wait". Like, I don't get the vive they're sincerely asking, I get the vibe it's a rhetorical challenge. They think it's a gotcha. They legitimately don't think people have an answer fir what Trump has done that should warrant removal from office
