My friend and I are thinking about making an instance dedicated to debate and forking lemmy to add some debating features.

What features would you like and what do you think about the idea?

    Yeah, I was thinking a char limit so people had to make multiple posts for different parts of an argument, but IDK if that’s a good idea. I think some comment classes should allow for large responses though to convey complex ideas

      Lemmy already has a character limit for posts and comments, but it’s not configurable per community and is mainly meant to prevent someone from uploading a giant wall of text that could break the UI or even crash the backend. People have actually talked about increasing the default limit so longer posts and comments can be allowed.
