10 months agoIs there somewhere online where you can have an “open discussion”? I’ve been struck a few times by how some ideas (even presented in a balanced way) just get downvoted hard.
I’ve also noticed that for some communities, such as the conservative community, the posts get downvoted heaps because they are as accessible as any community. On Reddit I just wouldn’t have seen their posts. This potentially makes it unwelcome for people of particular ideologies. (Possibly a self governing trait of the wider community)
