    I find it’s less common to find insistent users who refuse to read provided sources, or provide sources of their own, on Lemmy than on Facebook. It happens, but far less frequently than when I last used Facebook in 2015. Although my perspective may have been unique to my curated feed.

      I think the smaller communities helps with giving eachother the benefit of the doubt. Like if I’m disagreeing with someone from my own insurance, or another small one I know is generally cool, I’ll try much harder to figure out what their point is.

      The flip side of that is people who think sources can support an illogical argument. Sources: think tank think tank WaPo.
