I’m looking for communities and websites where controversial issues are neither censored or insta toxic flame wars. instead looking for something that is formatted for open in depth discussion. You might say “you have arrived” here on Lemmy, what else is out there?
You must log in or register to comment.
That public toilet across from the Institute For Public Services is pretty good. I’d avoid Tindahan Asian Foodmart though, the people there didn’t seem very interested in discussion.
I’m guessing you don’t know what a debate is.
And clearly you don’t know what pictures are relevant to the text posted
Seriously, what’s up with the picture?
Your joke makes a little more sense now. Updated it just for you.
Wasn’t my joke btw
Cool cause not sure how comparing logical debate to the content of human waste is very funny.
All the upvotes on his coment already shows how this place is just following in the footsteps of reddit: a place for one sided opinions and sarcastic suppression.
I mean they were just trying to bridge the gap between the picture and the content. I’m not sure how it’s one-sided or suppression. Weren’t there others who helped?
Sorry it’s my first post. It’s an abstract topic, no real image goes with it so i just picked a landscape image which was on first few that popped up when i pressed “browse” on my phone.
But I updated the image almost immediately because you pointed out the image was too random. Now it’s an illustration of two people talking.
Still no real response though and everyone kept upvoting his comment even with this new image, so again putting debate in the public toilet is what is getting voted on here. 🤷🏼
It’s a serious question, looking for platform that facilitate serious discussion. That’s the topic now overshadowed by this thread.
Human waste is more interesting than the sounds humans make with their mouths—
There isn’t. Either a platform is skewed to one side, people take an argument against a stand as an agument against themselves, or people argue in bad faith. If you want instances where controversial topics are openly spoke of check out the instances page and scroll down to the bottom to the blocked instances.
Thanks for the link, this will help me find more topics at least.
If you ever find anything, please tell me. I have a lot of arguments, but nobody to argue with.
I find Tildes is pretty good for this sort of thing, as long as you take the time to actually write something decent behind the post to show you are asking / debating in good faith and not just being an asshole.
Thanks I’ll have to look into that. This is a lemmie/mastodon instance or it’s own thing?
It’s own thing… and it’s definitely trying to not be the same as Lemmy, Reddit etc
Have a read of the stuff here:
And see what you think… if it’s for you, you can email admin for an invite (which can take a couple of weeks due to backlog) or find another user with invites left to invite you (I’m out at the moment)
I’m imagin8ng a self dissecting discussion where topics are sorted into a table of contents at the top (highlighting opposing but reasoned viewpoints), and quality discussions can follow the fractal comment threads. If you know of this an6where, I want to know.
