insert 2 spidermen pointing at each other
theres also Bots/ai arguing against other bots to sow dissent.
This is one of those stupid articles that are like “water is wet says a new study” and far more people than it should be say “holy fuck it’s wet when I wash things. It must mean I wash things with water. Omgomgomgomg!!”
No shit users are trolls on reddit.
This post feels like bait
It’s called being contrarian, and it’s not just Reddit users. I have several family members like this.
Wow this guy really loves to disagree
No he doesn’t!
HAVE YOU EVEN READ OP?
Thanks AI… Using tremendous amounts of energy and technology to tell us something that anyone paying attention would have already known
It’s called a dialectic.
Omg no it isn’t!
This is literally the point, there is a clear difference between a hegelian dialectic and brute-force manichaeanism.
Social media has allowed us to perceive the one as the other.
Now everybody thinks they’re the only righteous ones and anyone who deviates from their strict
opiniondogma is evil.
Thats not true
No it’s not!
I disagree
no they dont
That’s not an argument, that’s a contradiction!
This is abuse, arguments are down the hall.
No it’s not!
BUT
source?
no… no!!! that’s impossible!!!
Bizarre to have a headline claiming five “types” were identified, but then only describe the behavior of a single type. What are the other four?
There’s way more than five. (bugger - the images seem to be gone from that old site)
Disagreement is a way to promote dialog.
It’s also a way to manufacture dissent and foster division.
No it isnt
Sources?
/s
on what planet do you exist on where everybody is 200% aligned lol
north korea?
Only if you are a tankie?
I agree
Wrong.
Survivor bias aside, I’m not sure the UI doesn’t make this drive-by trolling worse. The reddit UI (hi Lemmy) is threaded but disjoint, and the excellent response to one tree of responses isn’t useful to or seen in another tree – and those trees will develop in parallel in almost every discussion.
I worry that quips and cheap takes stand out because they’re fast and block actual discussion more, so have that mock ‘finalising’ effect. Ending a discussion thread is not concluding it .
… and we all have that cousin whom no one invites anywhere because he’ll argue the shit out of something like a jackal worrying a carcass, until people just give up and let him wander smugly off to his little corner in contrarian triumph.

More at 4.
I came here for a good argument!
“This is Abuse.”
That skit has only gotten more and more relevant with the rise (and fall) of the internet.
I disagree.
I think you’re wrong.
Well ackshually…
I disagree
OBJECTION!
OVERRULED!
Then we agree to disagree
“Then you are banned.” – Redditor Jannie
It’s not something you can agree or not, it’s a fact!
I have a reddit coworker, he just disagrees and follows up with “fucking retard” while being blatantly wrong…i hope they fire the guy soon.
Unmanageable human being, impossible to learn anything to keep him from killing himself (my job is technically life threatening, if you’re too stupid to listen)
He also mamaged to call in sick for 2 weeks in his first 4 weeks of employment, i was surprised when they kept him on after that.
i was surprised when they kept him on after that.
Clearly did not learn anything from The Office Space. that’s management material and your future boss
I fear for it, honestly.
Luckily i’m already planning to leave. I haven’t found a good job within reach yet, it’ll come haha.
