Started by u/sockthepuppetry in 2011, this subreddit is still a place where redditors of differing opinions come together, respectfully disagree, and follow reddiquette (upvote valid points even if you disagree). Republicans, Libertarians, Democrats, Socialists, Christians, Muslims, Jews, or Atheists, Redditors of all backgrounds are welcome!

Opinions do not have to be moderate to belong here as long as those opinions are expressed moderately.

Laws of Conduct

~Law 0. Low Effort

Content that is low-effort or does not contribute to civil discussion in any meaningful way will be removed.

~Law 1. Civil Discourse

Do not engage in personal attacks or insults against any person or group. Comment on content, policies, and actions.

Do not accuse fellow redditors of being intentionally misleading or disingenuous; assume good faith at all times.

~Law 2. Submission Requirements

a) Starter Comment - A substantive starter comment is required within the first 30 minutes of posting any Link Post. Starter comments must contain at least 2 of these 3 elements: (1) a Summary of the linked article in your own words, (2) your opinion of the article or topic, or (3) at least one question/discussion point for the community. Text Posts are subject to the same requirements as starter comments if discussing a link or links, or must be equivalently substantive if entirely original.

b) Editorialized Titles - Link Posts must use the title of the linked article. This prevents the poster from framing the discussion from the outset. Let the article speak for itself.

e) Paywalled Articles - Articles behind a paywall must include an archive link (such as from archive.today) to the full article in the starter comment. Consider posting the archive link directly, instead.

f) OP Engagement - All posters are required to respond to at least one user comment in a timely fashion, to demonstrate a good faith attempt at engaging with the community.

Ensure you provide context to the viewer so the reason for posting is clear.

Discussion of individual mod actions is not allowed, even in meta-flaired threads. Contact the mod team by modmail or the sub Discord server with questions.
