    There are a couple things that seem honest, but most of this is just rage baiting or spreading misinformation (fluoride, really? If you’re gonna talk about it being discussed you gotta bring scientific sources to the table). Like, I get it, there’re no decent places to actually discuss politics in this day in age because every space is an echo chamber, but you don’t have to actively goad people into engaging with you. Just try to act like an adult, do your research, and talk within the bounds of your knowledge. Keep in mind that the spaces you’re talking in are often echo chambers that come with some territorial behaviour, unfortunately.

    All-in-all, if you want people to be nicer to you, you gotta be nicer to them. Also bring sources if you believe the audience won’t believe you.

      So, the fluoride thing. I did provide a source, and this was the one I provided. However, it kept getting deleted by the mods for “misinformation”. You’re right about being nice. I was able to end a heated argument in the community by telling the person I was arguing with that it was ok to disagree, and that they can have themselves an amazing day. Thanks for the thoughtful response.
