Where is our debate instance? (lemmy.world)

Any instances out there mostly facilitating moderated debate? This could be a big deal. Especially missing great communities on Reddit like CMV, Debate*, *101, etc

This would be amazing. Huge opportunity here but of course some of the highest moderation requirements of any community. Near the levels required for something like r/ask_historians

Create one? :) If you build it, they will come.

I don't know why it would require its own instance. Communities for debate could be created anywhere.
