Do you avoid discussing some topics online even if you have something you'd like to say about them?

I've been doing this for some time now. Even if it's something that I consider important.
I just don't see the value in participating in a discussion that I have seen countless times already where the same points and arguments happen over and over again. One that I know wilI turn ugly. It's exhausting and I've decided to just opt-out.
You're viewing a single thread.
Anything even remotely, tangentially related to politics.
Yeah - I left Reddit long before the API crackdown because I realized people don't create special interest subreddits to actually have a mature, intelligent discussion about their topic. They rather are places of worship, where criticism or rather anything but complete adulation is seen as "off topic" at best and as blasphemy at worst. And I'm not even talking about remotely political subreddits, rather than subreddits about e.g. cooking, podcasts, movies, music, etc. The result of which is of course is a completely imbecile crowd of people whose personality is 100% made up of being a fan of some thing, and who are unable to not discuss anything about that thing on a theoretical, non-personal basis. The type of people who send self-made cookies to podcasters hoping to become IRL friends with them ;-)
