I like your thinking, but there are issues.

Being against medical tyranny doesn't mean it can't be questioned and debated. Unfortunately that potentially opens it up to exploitation by infiltrating sealions and shills.

I'm almost of the mind that when we finally get the decentralize forums going, in addition to TruthSeekers.Party, we might want AntiAuthoritarianism.Party or Voluntaryist.com or something. Yes, we'd allow devil's advocates, but we could be harsher on perpetual nay-saying shilling and advocating for authoritarian tyranny.

Sometimes I just want a news aggregator, without the debates. Some people here don't post much and just like to debate.

"you know it when you see it"

This is so problematic, yet part of life. The more grey area we can clear up the better.

Maybe you can read my other comments and offer feedback.

    But if the group's intent is specifically against medical tyranny (of course not to the exclusion of examples showcasing it, just to the exclusion of shilling/promoting it) then that would mean it can't be questioned and debated. It would not be a "debate" group.

    Ah, yes, there's the rub: the different kinds of subs.

    • community group fellowship sub
    • topical sub
    • news feed sub
    • genre sub
    • entertainment sub
    • blog sub
    • personal interest sub
    • project sub
    • discussion sub
    • debate sub
    • info-bubble sub
    • echo-chamber sub
    • strict sub
    • casual sub
    • free speech sub
    • civil sub
    • polite sub
    • utility sub
    • platform sub

    What have I missed? Which should I explain? Which should I remove? Should I create sub-categories? These aren't even categorizing the type of content. Figuring out how to organize all this would be nice before the next Lemmy gets off the ground.

    For future forums, Cassy, Phoenix, whatever - it would be nice to have types / classification / categories of subs presented, even if just in the sidebox.
