Every debating website will start out as one of the following:
- No mods; free speech absolutism. In this scenario, the right wins because the right biologically has way more debating energy than the left, the left leaves voluntarily, and the website becomes politically dead (DDO being an example).
- There ARE mods; free speech gets restricted. It starts out with restricting the most far right ppl on the site, and the mods at the time think, "We will never restrict moderate voices". Then they decide to increase standards of what's ban worthy; then eventually, they end up targeting genuine moderates (me being the example). Conservatives depart the site involuntary due to their eventual ban. Eventually, I'd be unsurprised if Kohai gets banned because he is a Zionist (and many consider Zionism to be hate speech). I'm not going to empathize with his eventual ban because he is the prosecution for my ban.
In situation 1, the left leaves voluntarily. In situation 2, the right leaves involuntarily. Situation 1 seems more ethical. But many websites are situation 1 and many websites are situation 2. People debate to get the world to be within their ideology. Well, it turns out, as time progresses, way more people depart the democrat party and become republican/independent than vice versa. This is despite the GOP going further right and the US being more right wing in 2026 than 2016; the following issues the right has won on to the point where democrats don't like bringing up these issues anymore:
- Roe
- DEI
- BLM
- Trans
The right wins in the long term.
