From my experience of arguing with strangers on social media, at the very least right wingers/conservatives are more likely to engage in good faith. Leftist tends to have this self inflated moral high ground and would usually reply with condescending tone in their choice of words. Honest sometimes it does feel like im arguing with bots when it comes to the left.
Exactly, this is why it's pointless to waste your time doing 2016 era debating with them. They're not actually there to have an argument, they're there to virtue signal and look good to their peers arguing with a 'bigot' online. If it doesn't go to plan they scurry off and memory hole everything even if they've committed blatant libel against the person they're arguing with. They also always only ever get outraged about popular stuff as well, at least the majority of them and that's so they can write click-bait and make money off it.

For my own experience, lefties tend to fake outrage about a convenient point and depart the conversation when it doesn't follow their expected script.
