There’s probably a better community for asking this, but I haven’t been able to find that one either.
What I’m looking for is a place to discuss ideas that encourages good-faith conversation, staying on topic, and being decent to one another - while actively discouraging mean-spirited, facetious, or bad-faith responses that focus on criticizing the person asking the question rather than engaging with the substance of it. And by “discouraging,” I mean active moderation with very low tolerance for that kind of commentary.
Well, the reason people are being weird to you about this is because you’re being vague on purpose and they don’t want to be someone who helped foster a community that discusses how pedophilia and CP should be legal and black people are subhuman.
Basically every debate forum will turn into that if you don’t monitor things and make sure there are clear ground rules enforced by competent moderators. If you are being genuine, you will have to be prepared for bad faith actors, actual pedophiles, abuse apologists, racists and ethnonationalists, and the resulting mixed opinions of the community and not get upset like you are doing all over this thread.
If the community that you want doesn’t exist, then to solve that problem you’d either have to make one and mod it properly, or find people IRL.
