I see a lot of the former on Lemmy too, unfortunately. Certain inflammatory users like to treat being heavily downvoted as some sort of victory and will write a long rant about it in an edit, because all of the “liberals” (that being anyone who disagrees with them) on this platform just can’t handle the truth that only they apparently see. They think they’re owed a multi paragraph point by point rebuttal of every point they make no matter how blatantly stupid or wrong it is. They never consider whether their arguments are even worth bothering with a rebuttal in the first place, and anyone who does try and argue usually gets nowhere.
