The other key factor is to not be an insufferable dickhead when you’re posting. You can post the truest facts known to man but if you come across as a smug asshole then people will naturally be inclined to think your wrong.
I feel like your tone plays next to no part on that. If they agree and you’re rude, your rudeness becomes “justified”; if they don’t agree and you’re rude, they’ll play the victim, assume (yet another sign of stupidity) that you’re angry, or even “u rude than ur rong lol lmao”.
Same deal with explanation length; make it succinct and to-the-point and they’ll assume words on your mouth, make it verbose and well-explained and they’ll distort it.
In my old community (here, in Lemmy - showing that the problem is not exclusive to Reddit) I scolded people like this, even when I happened to agree with them. I could’ve banned them, but I have no idea on how to approach this in large scale.
