MODERATORS
Firstly, I agree that there is a time and a place and a lot of people seem to not know the boundaries.
That being said, bringing up a controversial subject isn’t always just about a fight. It might seem like it is, but sometimes we just want to discuss an issue.
Also, even arguing has its merit. While you’re not going to change the mind of the person you’re arguing with, you might sway the opinions of bystanders.
But yeah, I agree keep it out of shitposts.
