Although I understand and empathize with your honest concern, it is what it is, and I can try to offer you some perspective to alleviate at least some of your worry.

First, this is an information war, the divisiveness you have seen here stems from an uptick in attacks and a shift in strategy to focus on bringing about learned helplessness. Those that need to feel a part of a hive mind are actually more susceptible to these attack as they are more likely to subconsciouslyt adopt (in time and through repetition) the ideas that sow doubt or infer a sense of failure.

It turns out that, in the case of the reddit boards, what seemed more like unity there was in actuality a few competing hive minds trying to maintain relevance. There was still a steering of thought, and to the degree that it Muddied the signal in itself, the shills didn’t need to interrupt what was already not productive. For example, you did not see shilling on neon revolt or sb2 posts on reddit, but rather overwhelming support.

When there is true opportunity to discuss diverse points, there will inevitably be much more noise by the opposition, and you will have to just be even more creative on how you try to get the information out, there is no free lunch and no free pass, unfortunately.

There is NOTHING honest about OP's concern.
