This is essentially like #discuss, except post authors are aware that the post could spark some potentially passionate debate. It's kind of a reminder for people to keep it civil.
This is for stuff that's not necessarily programming-related and more just fun blurbs.
The mods and community here are great, so don't be afraid to post something with the wrong tag on it. If the mod disagrees, they'll let you know why and help you find the right tag. Lots more forgiving than StackExchange.
Let me know if this helps! My DEV messages are open too, so ping me here or there if you have any other questions :)

Hi people,
I made an account after one of my StackExchange questions got a bit too discussion-like to post there. Is this a place to post general computery discussion questions, like What makes a scripting language “embeddable”? and How do tech companies implement Email Transparency? Alternatively, what is the ideal purpose of this website?
Hi! Yep, you'll probably want to look these tags and see which ones fit your particular questions:
#help
This is StackOverflow-like specific questions that you want specific help with.
#explainlikeimfive
This is for when you want a longer, simpler answer to a more general or more theoretical/fundamental question.
#discuss
This is for a lot of people to weigh in with different opinions.
#healthydebate
This is essentially like #discuss, except post authors are aware that the post could spark some potentially passionate debate. It's kind of a reminder for people to keep it civil.
#watercooler
This is for stuff that's not necessarily programming-related and more just fun blurbs.
