I’ve been thinking for a while along similar lines for a discussion platform, but came to a different conclusion. I think the trick is turning weakness into strength. People really want to fight, they want to make bold statements, and they don’t want to take the time to read or write long nuanced arguments. What if you made something that leaned into that? I was thinking about a CMV sort of site where you can tweet a reply to a view in support or in disapproval, sorting automatically in two halves of the page, and people can like those tweets. It would allow the strongest pro/con arguments from either side to bubble to the top, and the short length of a tweet and inability to chain multiple together would require succinct and single arguments. The site would rank views by recent replies, which would reward controversy with attention and draw out more responses.
