Don't be a sheep.
Ditch the useless drama, extreme
polarization and dictatorial censorship of traditional Social Media.
Dagora empowers
you with critical thinking tools for constructive debates, democratic moderation and
purposeful communities.
In 2025, can't we do better?
Bullying
Two-time world debate champion Bo Seo saw the potential for the format of debate to be exploited and degraded, and he believes that the capacity to disagree well or poorly is within all of us.
Polarization
Our brains naturally form social bonds by grouping people based on shared values, but digital spaces disrupt this. Social media magnifies conflict, deepens polarization, and makes empathy harder by exposing users to extreme viewpoints.
Echo Chambers
Scientific analyzes demonstrate echo chambers on various social platforms such as Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and Gab.
Fake news
People are more likely to share novel, surprising, or emotionally charged information, even if it's false. And social media platforms incentivize habitual sharing, making users more likely to spread misinformation without critically evaluating it.
Censorship
Twitter suspended multiple journalists who covered Elon Musk, citing a new policy against sharing live location data. Critics argue this was a targeted act of censorship, as the suspensions lacked prior warning and disproportionately affected reporters critical of Musk.
Manipulation
Redditors are being manipulated by AI-powered bots in the r/changemyview subreddit, as revealed by controversial research at the University of Zurich. Using AI bots in the name of science is one thing, but what happens when bad actors get their hands on these highly charismatic LLMs?
A disruptive approach: Followership
Dagora is not just another social network. It is a complete disruption of the current state of online platforms. While traditional social networks focus on engagement and superficial interactions, Dagora is built with a singular mission: to elevate users' critical thinking.
According to Robert Kelley, followers can be catagorized based on two key dimensions: Critical Thinking and Engagement
Results?
"Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine."
So, how to become a (Followership) Star?

🐱🏍 Anonymously Accountable
Small minds
discuss people, great minds discuss ideas.
In Dagora, there is no author
displayed for posts, arguments, sources and comments. You can only see people
who are
interested in or contributing to it, in order to focus on the idea instead of
its author.
But any of your actions will impact your
e-Reputation and your
friends' one, positively or negatively.

🙋♂️ Polling Perceptions
Poll is an underrated tool for democracy.
As Pol.is demonstrated in Taiwan, when wisely used, polls can get people to agree on very polarizing topics.
Dagora relies heavily on polls in order to:
- Introspect our own perceptions
- Detect collective illusions
- Bring back together polarized crowds
