Does it even make a difference? Would much appreciate some suggestions.

In this case, I copied and pasted a response to a comment they copied and pasted. I'm not doing it for them, but for onlookers, I don't genuinely think psythik is going to be meaningfully convinced either way. Leaving psythik's comment open and unopposed, though, isn't preferable either, as bad takes should be properly elaborated on.

I tend to just link previous comments I have made, in most cases. I copy and paste responses far less now than I used to. In my defense, though, when you see the same talking points from different people, they don't always need a unique bespoke response, and I don't actually spend all that much time on Lemmy out of my day.
