I like the general idea, but try playing devil's advocate with it! I went with the topic of trump and transgender rights and tried to formulate a pro-trump comment that would pass. It was not easy! I was downright civil by the end of it, describing a somewhat credible viewpoint that might lead someone to argue the "wrong" side. It seemed to find the opinion itself offensive, and how can you have a discussion if only one opinion is allowed?

Meanwhile my first, low effort comment arguing the "correct" opinion got published directly.

Conservatives are gonna scream that their views are being censored by this tool, and as it currently stands, I'd have to agree with them!

Edit to add: it did a lot better with non-political topics, and if I'm being honest, I've never ever seen a productive discussion online on a political topic. I'm not sure they can exist! So I would honestly want this tool for any forum I'm interested in viewing. I think. Pending further testing.

Hey! Thanks so much for giving a good effort and for letting us know what happened.

This is exactly the kind of thing we need and want to know. I'm grateful.

Glad you would be interested -- appreciate it!
