To clarify, in case my intended meaning didn’t get across, by “how to make political discussions here safer”, in addition to “not deteriorating in predictable ways” I also mean “how to not get LW embroiled in controversy and associated with politically incorrect ideas in the minds of outsiders (and thereby drive away members who are legitimately afraid of being associated with a place that is associated with politically incorrect ideas) just because we argue in good faith about them instead of loudly denouncing/banning them”.

I posted my reply to this as a post. Can you ping users on posts?
You mean tag people so they get notified, like on FB? I don’t think you can. Just send them a PM with the link, I guess.
