Derailing for Beginners is a platform that takes a close look at derailment as a redirection strategy in the course of (online) discussions.
Derailing is regularly used when (undesirable) viewpoints of affected groups become visible and take up space in (hegemonically led) debates.
The website explains common arguments, which usually serve as red herrings, in the context in which they arise and how they work.
In doing so, it is ironically addressed to a potential derailer.
At the same time, the individual explanations function as a practical tool that can be applied concretely in online conversations as an intervention measure through appropriate linking.
