Show HN: Discourse – Wikipedia for Sensitive Topics
3 by UpTheDiscourse | 1 comments on Hacker News.
We just launched our open beta of Discourse and would love feedback. We’re a group of professionals from across technology & journalism who all have a shared experience working with sensitive topics and misinformation online. We built Discourse as a way to fill a gap we continued to see in our day jobs: a trustworthy and simple way to understand challenging topics. Discourse is unique in that it (a) combines multiple viewpoints into one place and (b) allows for Wiki-style crowd suggestions. While other sources try to be 'fair and balanced' off the bat, our belief is that it takes time, feedback, and iteration to get there - and the team has built the site around this. We’d love your feedback about how we’re presenting and summarizing the full picture to present a more balanced view of complex topics like the Future of AI, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Climate Change, Defunding the Police, and more. Is the formatting easy to follow? Is the wiki component clear? Are opposing viewpoints being presented fairly? We want to hear it all. For more on Discourse check out indiscourse.com/about – thanks for your feedback!
