Talk about the things you have an opinion on.
Every day starts with one light question. You answer it in a single tap, and then you hear why someone sees it completely differently.
Today's question
One question every day
We cannot reach today's question here right now. It is waiting for you once you are in — and tomorrow there is a new one.
Now on Debaty
Here is what is up today
Real, public conversations — no invented numbers, no fake bustle. Something short is called a bubble here; if it takes off it becomes a debate with positions and sources; and what does not need to stay you put in a story that is gone after a day.
There is nothing to show yet today — want to start the first conversation?
You are not the product here.
Four things that are ours. Behind each one is the page where you can check it, and you can read that without an account.
European, with the caveats included
Servers, database and storage sit in the European Union, under European law, with one Dutch company you can hold to account. Images and video live in Cloudflare's European storage, and Cloudflare is an American company — so "in the EU" is not the same as "out of American reach". We would rather say that ourselves than have you read it elsewhere.
Who processes your data →We do not sell your data
No advertising profile, no reselling, and no measurement script from another company: we count visits cookielessly on our own servers. Ads attach to the topic you are reading, never to who you are.
Privacy statement →You can see why something is on your timeline
For every bubble you can ask why it reached you. What counts towards it is listed by name on a page, you adjust it yourself, and what you set to zero really does weigh zero.
How the timeline works →Your opinion belongs here, with fact-checking around it
You are allowed to take a position. If you doubt whether something is true, you request a fact-check — nobody sees who asked, and requests are bundled. Replies that bring a source get the Sourced label.

Once you are a member you can check it: What we have about you shows per kind of data what there is, what for, how long, and where you take it away — with your own numbers.
We have only just started
Debaty is heading into alpha. A lot is already here, some things are still missing, and now and then something breaks. We would rather say so now: whoever is early helps decide what this becomes — which conversations are normal here, and what we build next.
