You are always trying to move flat earthers to that quite little stage where no one will hear us. Why?
I am certainly not interested in moving anyone! Though, maybe it won’t be as quiet or little if we encourage others to join us there!
I think it is valuable to have a community specifically for such discussions, especially for posterity. Discussions of the topic in random (typically unrelated) communities are likely to be lost and never be seen by interested people in the future. I envision flatearthresearch for in depth discussion, and exchange of views (including critical).
We should all be flooding this site and waking up the community that is most likely to listen to new ideas
I don’t think “flooding” is necessarily the right approach, but i generally agree that we should be doing all we can to raise awareness of the important subject. Including on communities specifically for that topic!
I think sharing our views in other communities certainly has its merits too, but trying to force people to learn new things (especially that refute/violate their existing worldviews) almost always backfires.
Likewise flooding can easily cause the opposite effect - further loathing and disinterest of the subject.
I try inviting those that are interested instead, however - i will admit, my approach very rarely works.
