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?

    I like the idea of “classes” of comments, so they can be more easily filtered. what do you guys think about that?

      When we implement flairs, which are tags that can be configured by the moderators of each community to separate different types of content (flairs are what Reddit calls them, I don’t know what the best generic term is), we certainly could have comment flairs in addition to post and user flairs. But for now flairs in general is still on the backlog. You could also make an issue on GitHub if you want comment flairs.

        Yeah, comment flares will be pretty useful. We may try and contribute that.

          I find myself getting pretty excited about the idea of comment flairs. I do not have any extensive knowledge or experience with them, but I think it will be interesting to see what uses people come up with. It definitely sounds as an intriguing concept that I would like to experiment with.
