How would you guys feel about a "debate oriented" instance+fork of lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

My friend and I are thinking about making an instance dedicated to debate and forking lemmy to add some debating features.

What features would you like and what do you think about the idea?

I'm curious, what do you think a debate oriented Lemmy fork would have over "standard" Lemmy? The nested comment system is already really good (IMO one of the best) for keeping track of long, multi-factorial discussions.

That's basically what I'm asking. I think the nested comment system but fantastic, but I figured it could be improved upon. I made a top level comment about a classification system, where there would be "classes" of responses.
