A lot of good points and issues have been raised in this thread. I'll comment briefly on a few of the topics raised.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-
I do find that I mostly agree with Ihzi most of the time. But this is not a good medium for voicing concerns in large paragraphs. We should have a podcast/ interview/ livestream type thing with or without the devs. For personal use.
- Easily cover tons of areas and topics in a short amount of time
- Find common ground, agreements and disagreements in a sensible, live discussion
- Have questions prepared beforehand by other members
- Can choose the gravity of each topic
I'd even be happy if there was a dedicated voice channel for hour-long discussions on interesting/ important topics. Like how Steven Crowder sets up a random table and asks people to change his mind.
"Elves are lewd. Change my mind."
