Thesaner.com – a troll-proof platform for harder discussions

I am trying to build a platform for complex discussions, given the inadequacy of existing social media for this purpose. The core idea is to enforce the structure that characterizes the development of an argument right at the level of the platform and discard everything else. The result is a place that is troll-proof by design and optimized for having complex discussions. You can read more about it at https://www.thesaner.com/faq and try out its behavior at https://www.thesaner.com/simulator. The website is functional, so you can also choose to sign up for it.

The website remains very much a work in progress and I welcome all feedback. If you have any doubts, please ask about it.

PS: The website only supports discussions on science, policy, and technology at the moment. I am working on making it general-purpose as soon as possible.
