Thank you. Upvote this!

(Obviously biased.) So, instead of using tools primarily designed for chatting and commenting, you could use a tool specifically designed for the facilitation, capturing and repres…

Oh boy have we have had success with tongue in cheek, at least 100 twitter messages regarding those flat earth examples on the tour page, incl. support emails from astrophysicists.…

Being investigated. Thanks for feed-back!

We'll improve that wording, thanks for bringing it up.

Thanks for the detailed reply. It's something we have been thinking about a lot. As you write, there is no real good way of dealing with this. Stating both options will make theses…

It was our first time on HN and I don't think the person using the account did (or had enough karma even if they wanted to). As you can see here and beneath ( https://news.ycombina…

These are happening...though we should have a dedicated place for them: https://www.kialo.com/kialo-should-create-a-mobile-app-addit...

You could, but then you would just end up linking the pros of Tabs as cons to Spaces, which is kind of redundant. In the end, this is a simple, doing X is better than doing Y. Usin…

"Mobile users seem to be okay with getting asked for permissions on demand, why would desktop users be any different?" Should be a con, not a pro, as it weakens the claim above. Ju…

Did you have a look at the tree view, which follows when you enter the discussion? :) And yes, we do allow multi-linking and intermap-linking of claims.

I don't think they offer an API for reputation exporting, do they? Also, our reputation system, the thanks count, is based more around HOW you interact with others, so if you are p…

Thanks for your feed-back. Re 1-3) Most discussions can actually be distilled to a single pointed issue or a very specific discussion ( https://www.kialo.com/should-there-be-a-univ…

Possible, but how do you explain this to the less technically-minded people?

In a democracy, consensus on truths actually matters a lot. Not speaking for the team, but, I would probably consider something to be argued rationally, that is logical within a cu…

We do have a spectrum of positions, via the Perspective feature. There you can see how others see an issue.

Thanks for feedback. We only show it on first load, might well change that. You can open it by going to the menu (on the left) and selecting discussion info or clicking the (i) on …

Thanks for feed-back and giving us a try. The fancy sunburst, currently, only appears on initial load of a discussion, we are thinking of changing that. You can open it by clicking…

I don't think this can be remedied via democratic voting. We are thinking of allowing debate admins to show some default perspectives, e.g. atheist vs Christian, as these are more …

Do you allow multi linking, intermap linking, branch copying to other Kialos of claims or do people always have to rewrite them from scratch (and all their children?)? Because if y…

It is waiting for the debate creator and their admins to accept or respond to. The suggestion is used as good faith and coherent writing ability signaling. Normally you then get in…

We suggest linking to those examples, normally they are too long to fit nicely in. The same goes for graphics. We are afraid, exactly for the reason you specify, reading experience…

Many issues do not have a neutral position (Is climate change real / man-made? Is there a God? Is torture ever ok? Should there be trigger warnings in education?. If you are undeci…

Exactly, we often see discussions about linked papers underneath a claim, where then often the paper is taken out as a pro for the original claim, to make it clearer. Also, many di…

On our site, or in general? They broadly fall into, "science is knowledge" vs "whatever I want / feels right" is knowledge. We have perspectives, with which you can look at a belie…
