Debate online with people who disagree.
Pick a topic, take a side and argue it out on camera or mic. Turns are optional, the audience votes, and nobody gets talked over.
How to debate online here
You can open a room in about a minute, or join one that is already live. You can speak, or you can just watch and vote.
- Sign up with your email.
- Pick a topic, or write your own question.
- Choose a side, With or Against.
- Open a room, or join one that is live and ask to speak.
- Make your case, answer the other side, and let the audience vote.
Open conversation or timed turns
Some people want a loose argument. Others want a clock. You choose when you set up the room.
With timed turns, each side makes its case, answers the other side, asks questions and gets a last word. The host can pause the clock, move to the next turn or add time. Without them, the room is an open conversation with the same chat and the same vote.
Topics people actually argue about
The best rooms start with a question that has two serious answers. Here are a few that work well for US politics, religion, philosophy and business.
- Should the US replace the Electoral College with a national popular vote?
- Is free speech online worth the harm it allows?
- Does morality need religion?
- Is capitalism the best way to lift people out of poverty?
- Should the US keep military bases in the Gulf?
- Can a machine ever be conscious?
Find someone to debate
Send someone a message with a debate invite and it takes them straight into the room. Or open a public room on a topic you care about and let the people who care about it find you.
What keeps it fair
The host runs the room. They decide who speaks next, and they can remove someone who keeps derailing the debate. If you would rather not be on camera, run an audio-only room.
If a person or a room breaks the rules, use the reporting controls in the app.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be good at debating?
No. Most people watch a few rooms first, then join one. Casual rooms have no fixed turns, so you can find your feet before you try a timed format.
Can I debate without showing my face?
Yes. Speakers choose when their microphone and camera are on, and a room can be audio only.
Can I debate a friend or a specific person?
Yes. Send them a message with a debate invite and it takes them straight into the room. A room can also be private, so only the people you invite or admit can get in.
What happens if someone breaks the rules?
The host can remove them from the room. You can also report a person or a room from inside the app.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on desktop and mobile, so there is nothing to install.
