not everyone is going to have an 100% approval rate. Failing to engage with other users just due to a few differing opinions is stupid and not the way to go about life. Living in echo chambers isn’t the way

That is true, but you should also consider how a backfire effect could end up reinforcing deeply-held beliefs.
I would contend that one’s mindset matters the most when engaging with others who hold different opinions. If someone engages with people holding opposing beliefs to “prove them wrong” or to pick out the worst arguments, they will be only reinforcing their beliefs, not challenging them.
