I'm looking for communities and websites where controversial issues are neither censored or insta toxic flame wars. instead looking for something that is formatted for open in depth discussion. You might say "you have arrived" here on Lemmy, what else is out there?

There isn't. Either a platform is skewed to one side, people take an argument against a stand as an agument against themselves, or people argue in bad faith. If you want instances where controversial topics are openly spoke of check out the instances page and scroll down to the bottom to the blocked instances.
