A discussion about better discussions
I am curious about having better (online) discussions. My personal focus here is on social media opinion building and how better discussions could improve the quality of democratic decisions, make common voices more relevant and heard by the ones who will finally make decisions.
For this I have set-up a so far closed-source project with the following goal:
VeriVotion — Esperanto for “reasoning” — is a secure website for civilised debates — no shouting, rudeness or irrationality allowed! - that supports more relevant opinion-building as a foundation for smarter decisions and votings along social, political and organisatorial debates and large scale problem resolution activities.
From a technical perspective, the project's primary Phase I deliverable is a generic Commenting- and Discussion-WebSite-Plugin that supports smarter social debates on otherwise public accessible websites.

When going for the BIG-picture, first talking about safe spaces and protecting contributors so that open discussions will primarely have a home first, some great inspirations might be taken from The World Economy Forum hosted "Global Coalition for Digital Safety" that aims to accelerate public-private cooperation to tackle harmful content online and will serve to exchange best practices for new online safety regulation, take coordinated action to reduce the risk of online harms, and drive forward collaboration on programs to enhance digital media literacy.

As I have just started to investigate this topic, I do not feel ready yet for a podcast. Maybe when I can share my findings at a later stage - why not.
