I’ve been trying to find a place where people actually talk about things properly, not just drop random comments or try to go viral. Everywhere I look it’s either full of spam, trolls, or people arguing just for the sake of it. I just want a space where you can share an opinion, hear different sides, and have a real back-and-forth without it getting messy.

I’m not looking for drama or an echo chamber. Just normal people having solid discussions and being respectful, even if they disagree. If you know a platform like that, tell me what it’s like and why you’d recommend it.

Hackernews It you are not a developer more than half of the posts might not interest you. But the rest will. Politics are only allowed if it is world news or something.
