    I mean, I don't have anything against subs not wanting outsiders inside. Because that would mean every post just turns into discussion in comments. On Reddit GC had a debate sub, which is a good approach, imo. And there would be a selection bias there - people looking and able to debate would go there + those who want to see the arguments of both sides can easily find them.

    And as for preventing a sub from turning into an echo-chamber, I liked this approach I've seen on some reddit subs: occasionally, say once every two weeks, a thread called Unpopular opinions is made where subscribers share how their opinion is different from the majority opinion of the sub. Comments in such threads were always interesting to read and were not downvoted.
