There are two services (one built by me) out there which have this in mind, providing an online space for deep public discussions around a topic. Taaalk (https://taaalk.co/ https://taaalk.co/) is mine. It is currently less focused around debate, and more around exploring topics: E.g. OCD: https://taaalk.co/t/exploring-obsessive-compulsive-disorder https://taaalk.co/t/exploring-obsessive-compulsive-disorder Eating disorders: https://taaalk.co/t/discussing-eating-disorders https://taaalk.co/t/discussing-eating-disorders Bitcoin: https://taaalk.co/t/bitcoin-maxima-other-crypto-things https://taaalk.co/t/bitcoin-maxima-other-crypto-things Flag design: https://taaalk.co/t/the-power-and-significance-of-flags https://taaalk.co/t/the-power-and-significance-of-flags Chess: https://taaalk.co/t/how-to-think-about-chess https://taaalk.co/t/how-to-think-about-chess Psychedelics & Mental Health: https://taaalk.co/t/falling-inward-discussing-the-role-of-psychedelics-in-modern-medicine-and-mental-health https://taaalk.co/t/falling-inward-discussing-the-role-of-ps... Etc... Another alternative that is built by a fellow HNer is Debubble (https://debubble.me/ https://debubble.me/). It is more focused around debate than Taaalk. There are a fixed number of messages / discussion.

Oh, wow... I clicked on one of the topics on your site, a topic of great personal relevance, and I really like what I see so far. I’m on a quick break, but later on I would like to join the discussion, because it seems like a healthy environment that is oriented around understanding, inclusivity, and mutual aid. I’m sorry to be so vague with my feedback, but I figure it is still at least a little bit useful, and hopefully even a little encouraging as a small validation of the concept. Thank you!

I quite like the approach of https://www.kialo.com/explore/featured https://www.kialo.com/explore/featured Discussions in a more visual tree format for easier navigation and reduce duplication of points (I appreciate hn and Reddit are trees already, but this takes a different direction)

This was so interesting I posted it to HN now. Often when I do someone has already done so and my posting becomes an upvote, but not this time.
