I haven't quite pinned down why I have this problem on social media but not other discussion sites or the real world. I suspect that social media, or more specifically Facebook is different in some way, and I just haven't been on Facebook long enough to properly learn how to deal with it.

It is also possible that something about Facebook makes it harder to deal with, and I simply have left other platforms that have that problem to that degree, and I just haven't left, hoping that I will get it figured out.

For what it's worth I rarely comment, I like the odd posts and use messenger a fair bit. I'd likely avoid a public comment that could possibly be seen as confrontational as it doesn't seem worth the drama it might cause between friends.

I've been tempted to reply to anti-GM food posts for example but it's very obvious how it would degenerate.
