Ask HN: Where do you go for political discussion with a somewhat good discourse?
- sharemywin 9y agoIs that even possible?
- indescions_2017 9y agoSuch as /r/PoliticalDiscussion/ To some degree, the best forums have gone private on Discord, Telegram, Slack, etc. Community members find each other via private invites. And rigorously enforce moderation rules...
- m0ck 9y agoUnironically anonymous imageboards (not 4chan, 4chan is overcrowded at this point). Sure, you will get called names, but at least you won't get censored and/or downvoted into oblivion as it happens on Reddit (or HN) if you express opinion, that goes againt majority's belief. Your comment will be as visible as theirs. Another big advantage is complete anonymity - nobody knows anything about you, they only see the content of your post and nothing else. I have had some of the best thought-provoking discussion about politics or life in general on anonymous imageboards.
- coffeemachine 9y agoThe web is way to hostile for that.
- veddox 9y agoMy friends and family. I know enough different people to provide almost the whole spectrum of political beliefs, which makes for interesting discussions. And the fact that we all respect each other and talk face to face makes for civil discussions too - a combination I have yet to find online.
