Complains about strong bias here like it isn't just as bad or worse on reddit.

Personally, I think it is worse here as there is almost zero opposing voice. On Reddit, there are people from most sides of most topics. Here, in most conversations, there is only one side represented.

Now, I tend to agree with the bias here, on some things, some times. But even when I agree, I want to see arguments from the opposition. Otherwise, I never learn.

Even if you agree with something, you can play the 'devils advocate' and say what is wrong. You need to look at both sides.

I for example despise Apple. But i gotta admit their phones are pretty good if you just want a smartphone. Or if everything you have is apple, then the ecosystem is really nice.

Try to understand the other side, and be the opposing person. So these conversations can happen.
