A dramatic solution, assuming this phenomena is something to be abated, is to simply remove replies. Why does every internet community by default have a feature that steers us to negativity and confrontation. I often find myself scrolling past the replies on here anyway to find the next comment that may be unique, useful and well-thought - not just an objection or tepid agreement to something that’s already been said.
EDIT: suddenly aware of the irony

Their application of it to the Uber vs Taxis situation was quite interesting. https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/135-q-a-session-with-minister-tang/ https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/135-q-a-session-with-min... https://blog.pol.is/pol-is-in-taiwan-da7570d372b5 https://blog.pol.is/pol-is-in-taiwan-da7570d372b5 https://blog.pol.is/uber-responds-to-vtaiwans-coherent-blended-volition-3e9b75102b9b https://blog.pol.is/uber-responds-to-vtaiwans-coherent-blend...
