Comment on Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion?
Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 2 weeks agoI actually found pretty much what I was looking for. Not very active community and I don’t know how well it’s moderated but at least I can give it a chance next time such topic comes to mind.

Crazy what amount of pushback I’m getting for even daring to ask such thing. It clearly must be fascism and pedofilia I want to advocate for in there because why else would someone want to have serious conversations…

Please don’t be disheartened!
The people screaming at you are the ones who feel personally insulted, because they are terrified that you might not want to hear the stupidity that flows from their keyboard.
You can see them constructing, in real time, all kinds of strawmen about why it shouldn’t exist.
And to support you, many communities exist where moderators undertake the task of preventing uninformed and pointless discussion from taking over. There’s a couple of science and physics-based ones that I can recall from Reddit… where if you made any comment that he was slightly off topic, speculative, or not rooted in the ethic of scientific discovery… it was instantly removed.
Further to that, I can think of many communities where if you are not a professional in the field, a credentialed scientist, or able to demonstrate competency, you’re simply not allowed to be there. Not just not comment, one can’t even be there.
Stay strong. Your point has been more than proven by the babies squabbling here.
