Show HN: Conferacity – A place for “kind, clear and constructive” discussion

Conferacity (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.
