Position
Why is a Position type necessary?
I suggest creating a "Type Position" that facilitates easy initiation of debates with the primary aim of reaching consensus. This type is designed to be user-friendly, featuring just four attributes to simplify usage for newcomers, thereby easing expression and enabling quick engagement.
While claims are excellent for verifying data accuracy, they can hinder discussions for three reasons:
Editing them can be complex,
The opposing argument attribute may discourage users from initiating discussions with others,
This same attribute can lead to protracted discussions that fail to reach a conclusive agreement.
Positions are intended for straightforward voting and curation. If the expressed positions of different participants are compatible they can be consolidated, thereby initiating a new debate to facilitate progress.
What are the differences between this type and the Root space Position type?
The Root space Position type is outdated; I am the only one who has used it, and I believe I used it incorrectly.
