Actual Discussion - A place to talk like people

Are you tired of going into controversial threads and having people not discuss things, circlejerking, or using emotional responses in place of logic? Us too. Welcome to Actual Discussion! DO: - Be civil. This does not mean you shouldn’t challenge people, just don’t be a dick about it. - Upvote inte...

#What do you want to talk about?

We're brand new, but I hope you'll have a word or two. Looking for mods who can write and love discussing a variety of topics!

That's gonna be political in a matter of seconds lmao
- It doesn’t have to be apolitical- it’s how about the discussion is conducted and not immediately thinking a person who disagrees with you is evil incarnate. Very tough to moderate though, and requires participants to really be behind the ethos, I guess
  
  Yeah, it may be hard to set the tone at first without alienating anyone. I'm hoping that I'm up for it.
- I'm okay with political and encourage it as long as people have sound reasoning to back it up.
  I've changed my mind on many political topics after a good discussion!
  
  Fair enough. But not really for me, I just wanna look at stupid memes lol

Seems nice!
Would you like to share links in the sidebar with !casualconversation@lemmy.world ?
- Absolutely! It's the first community I've run on Lemmy, so I'll definitely have to pull from how you post it if that's okay.
  Maybe something like: "If you like Casual Conversation instead of Competitive Ranked conversation, try !casualconversation@lemmy.world !"
  
  Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !casualconversation@lemmy.world

Cool idea, I think you need to start some discussion yourself first so it's not that empty.
- Was going to start doing a few topics today, actually. Slept like garbage though so they may be... dumber than standard.
