For those who aren’t familiar, r/changemyview (CMV), is a subreddit similar to this one (and its reddit counterpart) where posts are made with the intention of counter-arguments being made in the comments below.

Do you think that this community should function similarly? Where OPs are expected to receive counter-arguments for their unpopular opinions? Or do you think this community should only be for expressing those opinions in a safe space?

    i’m not opposed but for anything of the sort to happen the community needs to have mods who are active first

    the mods here haven’t been proactively moderating towards a healthy community (as other communities do) for a hot second and misinformation and proto-hate speech had a huge spike about two weeks ago

    right now the community is just a blank canvas where you can really plaster anything, and only the most obscene of the obscene gets removed.
