      Honestly, I’d happily post to a LessCredibleDefense, but nobody’s yet created it, and I don’t want to moderate a community and do one myself, so I’m using NCD as the closest thing until someone up and does it.

      Reddit had three “tiers” of seriousness:

      Credible Defense: This expects material to be cited, have people who really know what they’re talking about. This is kinda stifling, and a lot of people can’t really engage in conversation at this level.

      Less Credible Defense: Weakens those requirements. There is currently no equivalent to this on the Threadiverse.

      Non Credible Defense: Shitposting, memes

      Does there need to be an LCD yet? I don’t know. Personally, I don’t think that there’s enough traffic to warrant breaking out a lot of communities — like, there just isn’t a large-enough userbase for most video-game-specific forums that existed on Reddit to exist, not enough users to keep them alive. I think that there’s a better case for an LCD than them…but even NCD doesn’t have a whole lot of traffic today, and CD is basically a ghost town.
