But how do we prevent comments that are forum-sliding or meant to stir emotions?

And some people will keep on spamming that all moon-landings or all shootings were a hoax. How do we bring that back to normal discussions?

Solution? - such replies could be marked with a "funny" or "alternative" flag to show that it is not the main goal of the sub or post.

Moderators can crack down on those things if they choose to do so, that's still within the bounds of what's allowed.

Deciding what's an acceptable narrative and what isn't, is the purpose of the voting system, so I don't think we need an additional flagging system. I appreciate the ideas though.
