Show HN: Conferacity – A place for “kind, clear and constructive” discussion
- ghufran_syed 6y agoConferacity (conferacity.com) is an experiment to see if “clear, kind and constructive” discussion can survive and thrive on the internet. It's based on the following principles: - Compulsory pseudonymity (focus on ideas, not identity) - No restrictions on those who just want to read discussions (“readers”) - Careful selection of users who can take part in discussions (“contributors”), based on a commitment to: - Disagreeing the right way(http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html) - Keeping one’s identity small (http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html) - The value of being an “accidental moderate” (http://www.paulgraham.com/mod.html) If you think you'd like to be a contributor, please email apply@conferacity.com . We would particularly like to hear from you if you disagree with the opinions you read there and would like to contribute - we believe strongly in the value of having our ideas vigorously challenged, and hope you do too.
