first night visiting this Discord

so many people are online though !

welcome

thanks! any pinned posts in the subchannels to go check out or is it just general conversation within itself

I come looking for good debates

I dont know much about the server

do you know anywhere I can have real debates with intellectually honest people?

Hmm... Very rarely that seems to occur on Reddit: certain debate focused subreddits ,

because here it just seems to boil down to, 'I don't care I just want your stuff'

this group seems fair for it as well, at least from this initial lookaround .

What do you want to debate about ? and do you want it to be sincere or each choosing a stance one doesn't necessarily commit to fully

you can scroll up and see my debates with people here earlier

oh ok - I'll go look

wow this general chat is just a cesspit of memes

but I guess it is an imageboard offshoot

they keep reverting back to the same talking points that have been debunked ages ago

like broken records

you should gather some people who want to commit to a longer debate/conversation and form your own groupchat priv message

yeah good idea

👍🏼

I don't think they actually believe what they say, just repeating propaganda they've heard

like they are fanboys of badmouse productions and Jason Unruhe and stuff lol

I'm so out of touch, no clue who those people are

Crazy YouTubers

ohhhh

Unruhe is a 'Maoist 3rd worldist' that said 9/11 was deserved..

somehow he is still going

https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/ is a surprisingly civil court, but might not be specialized enough (I didn't catch your actual questions back in time above us)

or r/debatecommunism or the like might be more suitable

nice

thanks a lot

you're welcome !

I get death threats from communists, Muslims, Alt right

Who have been trying to figure out where I live lately

I wouldn't worry about it.

i've been having to send in reports to discord about it

because they have been spreading my personal information to dangerous people

it's not easy as a centrist

you get hated on by all radicals

which is why I may quit discord

hmm... not a route to certain debates, but I find on twitter there's more of an overlap in interaction between centrists and any fringe
