Why do you assume that democracy is the right model for discussion? Even with the problems of moderation and hellbanning, the system here is better than something purely open.

I've seen pure open discussions, and I don't want to have anything to do with them.

Disagree with your thoughts on the system being better. Check some of the comments in the article and you might understand why.
