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.
What exactly is your problem here? Do you not have even a drop of self-awareness to realize that you’re now acting exactly like the kind of person that made me want to find a community free of people like you in the first place? You’re being a textbook example of someone who just can’t stay on topic and insists on making it about the person asking the question rather than addressing the question itself.
My comment history is open for anyone to see what kinds of topics I like to explore. I’m not going to start listing them here, because that’s not relevant to my question.
This entire comment section is filled with people talking to the music in their head, not to you or the topic you’ve raised.
This is the fundamental issue at play, people have severe self worth and emotional issues, and they leap at any chance to show it to the world.
Don’t you dare advocate any place where they can’t shoot their mouth off endlessly without considering their words!! Don’t be elitist! The stupids have value toooo!!!1
From what I see in your comment, you’re basically asking for a place where moderation handles endless logical fallacy, surly childish remarks, uninformed buffoonery, obnoxious aggressive posturing… Apparently that’s too much for people to handle.
I would love what you are advocating for, but we need something like an intelligence or LSAT-style test to vet people. 95% of people have absolutely fuck all to say. 95% of people literally cannot think; they are trapped in some kind of quasi-thought process that is largely governed by emotional self-protection mechanisms.
