Discuto
A structured debate platform with AI-powered argument analysis, reputation, and tools for constructive, evidence-based dialogue.
Discuto is a structured debate and discussion platform where people engage around topics by posting arguments rather than free-form comment threads. Each topic uses one of three debate formats: classic Pro/Con/Neutral, multi-stance for custom options, or a single open question. Arguments support threaded replies, linked evidence, and special types like steelman and self-critique that signal charitable, reflective intent. Quality is surfaced through argument voting with required reason tags, optional author-initiated AI analysis that scores arguments and offers written feedback, reputation levels from Newcomer to Consensus Builder, and an optional in-browser verification badge. A Learn section teaches debate skills, profiles support following and blocking, and a full admin suite handles moderation, analytics, and content tooling.
