People are stuck in echo chambers and only engage with content that agrees with their existing views, where conflicting views are downvoted into oblivion.

However, online spaces where people of different views do confront each other become a cesspool of name-calling, belief-bashing, and frustration, with no baseline understanding or respect for the opposing view.

So we asked ourselves, how might we create a space that allows people to discuss current events and inform each other about differing perspectives, facilitating a learning environment with discussion.
