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 # 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.
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)
