With the help of a few Steemians, I have been working on bringing a series of debates to Steemit. The goal here is to set an example of how to better communicate with those you disagree with, as there are far too many examples of how not to at the moment.
It is our hope that by debating controversial subjects, clearly and concisely, without the emotions and personal attacks, we can create a library of useful resources on the Steem block chain-- ones that others will be able to view and make up their minds on difficult subjects, without being swayed by ad hominem attacks .
The debaters will each put forth a topic, and the community will vote on what they would like to see discussed. The aim is to have one debate night a fortnight, with two debates running simultaneously on Steemit, so that observers can switch between the two while waiting for responses from participants. There will also be a discord channel running at the same time as the debates so that any viewers can talk among themselves, or with debaters who are awaiting their chance to respond.
If you think you have what it takes to be a MassDebater, click the link below to join us on discord. Alternatively, if you know any of your followers to be a good candidate for this project, hit the resteem button so that we can get this invitation to them. We hope to see many of Steemit's deepest thinkers taking part.
