About Discussionist

If you're an opinionated person with something important to say about whatever is going on in the world today, Discussionist is for you. Designed from the ground up for people who love challenging, anonymous Internet debate, Discussionist might make you laugh, cry, or shake your fists -- but you'll never be bored. Our innovative approach to forum organization puts the topics of the day front and center, and our unique jury system changes the game for people who have had enough of traditional discussion forum moderation.

Someone on DU recommended it a while back and perhaps some here can reflect on their experiences.
