NO YOURE WRONG AND I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT!!!
Bit aside, this has been my experience as well. Yeah, I’m a pretty argumentative person, but most of the ones I’ve had on here have been decently formed and thorough, without a whole lot of just raw shit slinging. There have been a couple, but it’s more the exception.
I also feel way more comfortable commenting here, because of the smaller community. I feel more comfortable expressing an opinion that may be contrary to what seems to be the ‘local’ status quo (that is, the status quo in a specific comment thread) because I feel way less likely to get ganged up on.
It is also good that downvotes don’t have as much effect as they had on reddit because your karma doesn’t really mattery usually people also try to understand the opinion of someone before looking at their profile for bad arguments completely unrelated to the discussion
