My impression is that your aim is to change or alter the views of those who are posting which isn't really going to work. I have mentally noted some of the background some posters have publicly stated and that informs what I will do or say in various threads.
Understand what motivates some posters and decide on a strategy. The pushback I experienced the other day turned out to be short-lived as my responses does not encourage their own emotional responses. If you look at some of my posts, you'll kind of glean how I'm doing that.
Below is some research studies with insights that should be helpful to you in understanding what is really going on in the CITME section.
"Online, social media communication is often ambiguous, and it can encourage speed and inattentiveness. We investigated whether Actively Open Minded Thinking (AOT), a dispositional willingness to seek out new or potentially threatening information, may help users avoid these pitfalls. In Study 1, we determined that correctly assessing social media authors’ traits was positively predicted by raters’ AOT. In Study 2, we used data-driven methods to devise a three-dimensional picture of online behaviors of people high or low in AOT, finding that AOT is associated with thoughtful, nuanced, idiosyncratic actions and with resisting the typically fast pace of online interactions. AOT may be an important factor in accurate, socially responsible online behavior."

I deliberately look for information of various kinds from sources with different views to me. For example, I look at PIRAs Green Book, statements of PIRAs leaders and so on. It becomes more difficult to debate someone who does that kind of thing.
The saying "slow is fast and fast is slow" comes to mind!
"Our findings show that users mostly tend to select and share content according to a specific narrative and to ignore the rest. This suggests that the determinant for the formation of echo chambers is confirmation bias."
And:
"Users tend to aggregate in communities of interest, which causes reinforcement and fosters confirmation bias, segregation, and polarization. This comes at the expense of the quality of the information and leads to proliferation of biased narratives fomented by unsubstantiated rumors, mistrust, and paranoia."
And:
"Digital misinformation has become so pervasive in online social media that it has been listed by the WEF as one of the main threats to human society. Whether a news item, either substantiated or not, is accepted as true by a user may be strongly affected by social norms or by how much it coheres with the user’s system of beliefs (32, 33). Many mechanisms cause false information to gain acceptance, which in turn generate false beliefs that, once adopted by an individual, are highly resistant to correction (34–37). In this work, using extensive quantitative analysis and data-driven modeling, we provide important insights toward the understanding of the mechanism behind rumor spreading. Our findings show that users mostly tend to select and share content related to a specific narrative and to ignore the rest. In particular, we show that social homogeneity is the primary driver of content diffusion, and one frequent result is the formation of homogeneous, polarized clusters. Most of the times the information is taken by a friend having the same profile (polarization)––i.e., belonging to the same echo chamber."
So, the conclusion is your goal CANNOT be to change the views of particular posters, especially as you can observe how a little community of like-minded posters has formed in CITME.
Your goal is to present information to those non-posters who lurk! You'll never know who's been impacted, but you can find evidence that online social media generated echo chambers don't really correspond to the silent majority.

The above will save you headaches and stress since you're changing your perspective and focus. 👍
