So I’ve had several comments removed recently and I was wondering how those of you with strong contrarian instinct avoid being toxic debate perverts.

I’ve noticed myself getting really confrontational online over shit that I know on an intellectual level does not matter in the slightest.

Are there strategies you’d recommend for acting more prosocially?

    Write your response, read it, then get up/change apps/whatever, then when you come back to it, clear the field/close the tab/refresh the page.

    Get the thoughts out, then delete them.
