I prefer DebateIsland. It has many formats ranging from Casual to Formal. The community is also great and lots of meaningful activity
Why bother? Wouldn't it be easier to just switch to DebateIsland?

Last night Debateisland launched Artificial Intelligence capability, that's pretty amazing. Those who prefer unfiltered debating with ability to insult anf bully others online may find it less than ideal, but those who appreciate being part of a civil community (like myself will love it.
Very fair point. I am not sure though how is it generic: let me clarify further- many top users from CreateDebate are actively debating on DebateIsland.
Not my website, but I am a loyal user for full transparency. You are making a fair point.
However, you are over exaggerating "stealing". I personally don't care one way or the other whether you join or not. I am stating the facts that I see many top CreateDebate users activey debating on DebateIsland.
Great, thanks for insulting. You make many assumptions and are generous with insults. The fact is that many CreateDebate users are there, and that was the point of the debate.
DebateIsland.com is a better choice. Many CreateDebate and DDO users are already actively debate there instead.
I check in every few months and see that CreateDebate community is imploding and stuck in similar debates.
I also agree that neutral poitics is better than reddit politics.
I am somewhat concerned though about their heavy moderation. It takes too much effort to debate there. There is a thread om that very topic.
I dont think that extreme moderation is the answer for a healthy online community. It is tricky though to fins the right balance. I find it interesting that a user who creates a debate on createDebate can ban and fully moderate opinionsof any user who replies to a debate. That is a unique feature for moderation, but I can see how that can backfire.
Voat has a less strict moderation policy than reddit, especially for politics, and in terms of moderation it works better.
The core issue to me is that reddit has discussions that are really unstructured, and there is a big difference between casual debates and a discussion forum. DebateIsland got the right formula there, and I prefer to debate there for the most part. Many CD users, including top ones made te switch.
DebateIsland.com
It already has many users from this site, including the top ones debating there.
I think it's not a good choice.
1) too unstructured
2) too much moderation
Yes, that is apparently part of his new agenda. Not sure why. One explanation can be a conspiracy theory of him and Putin.
CNN is much less corrupt than WashingtonPost that is funded by Jeff Bezos
Debate.org still didnot fix their polls. Although that website has so many registered users I don't understand why they don't fix their functionality
I agree with your points. Their policy re islamc terrorists entering the country needs to be questioned
I agree that debate.org is weighted too much towards liberals. Same is true for many other sites like reddit
Me too. I see that many on the all time top leader board here now debate there is either exclusively or partially.
Yes, no evidence by Trump to backup his claim. The bigger question is if that was still an effective distraction
Why shouldn't media support anti-trump stories. That sells much easier and generates more revenue for them.
Washington Post is likely the biggest offender, owned bun jeff Bezos
People by nature seek change and improvement. Given that there are finite resources war is often the best approach
I agree with that too. Way too formal for me. There should be more structure than Reddit, but much less than debate.org
Debate.org is way too formal for debating online, especially with a mobile.
