I’ve had some luck in open threads on SSC for stuff I would previously have directed to LW, but it’s much noisier, and is a far cry from a fully-featured discussion forum.
In recent months about a half of all SSC discussions were about politics in general and US elections in particular. It was basically the same people repeating the same things over and over again and the level of discussion wasn’t nearly as good as I expected from SSC.
Have you tried Slate Star Codex?
