I don't know, and it would be interesting to read an analysis about the discussions taking place.
The fact that people are willing to engage 1-on-1 in a chat, rather than posting anonymously in a social media thread, is already a win.
If the other side is clearly a troll, then you can just hop to the next chat. Otherwise it is okay to agree to disagree. At least both sides will have tried to get their arguments across, and you may have come to understand their viewpoint better.
It is the open discussion that matters, and breaking out of your bubbles.
