Thanks, I'm aware of it. There are quite a lot of tools in this space already. Unfortunately, many are unaware of each-other and therefore making the same mistakes and learnings over and over again. Looking at all these tools makes it clear how difficult it is to create one that actually "works". Most of the researchers at the canonical debate lab created their own tool in the past and are now discussing how a next-g…
Cool. In some ways, that sounds like the software industry in a nutshell, to be honest :) Can you share a sense for what any of the core unsolved problems are? (I'd be happy to read a mailing list / previous discussions if there's too much background to be worth communicating in a comment here) I've noticed that Arguman seemed to run into community management and spam issues.

Apologies for the condescension, and with all due respect, building a social network is a bit neo Silicon valley frothy.
the idea of building another facebook is just...ugh. however, a friend of mine has been working on a community site for fishing enthusiasts for years. it's _extremely hard_ to bootstrap a community site of any kind, even if it's not "social networking" per se.
