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?

It sounds interesting 🤔 but I have no idea what exactly you have in mind when you refer to an instance completely focused on debates 😐.

Mostly like the communities focus on debating, and try to stay productive, and call out fallacies and shitposts are filtered out, etc. Titles that call out debate topics, and practices and tools to help structure the debate. So that at the end of the day it's more like a stack overflow for debating where the arguments, counterarguments, and evidence are all nicely arranged.
