I had hope that this community would be a place where free thinkers would congregate and have open discussions about political issues. But at first glance it looks like a exact copy of r/politics. I lean left on the political scale but the constant republican/trump bashing is tiresome. Seems like this community has succumbed to the same fate. If I wanted heavy bias, I would just watch any major news station. Any suggestions on communities that discuss politics as a whole? Perhaps with an observatory viewpoint rather than a partisan one.
We also would like the discussions to be similar to reddit 10 years ago. Obviously, the world is a bit different and the users are a bit different than back then. Right now we are focused on growing the community and creating a welcoming place for those migrating. In the future, I think we can take advantage of the fediverse and all that it brings to create a diverse community here. We will the discussions civil, but not restrict diffing opinions. This is not an echo chamber and we intend to keep it that way. Philosophy requires that dialogue flows freely and that many different voices are heard. We won’t all agree with those discussions but everyone has the right to be heard. We know there are many that believe the one side should not be heard because their beliefs are invalid. I’d rather we listen and debate that.
