Debating & posting

Post bubbles and debates, reply, add media and polls, and schedule posts.

• A question or a proposition?When does your topic become a conversation, and when a debate?
• Starting a debateGive your debate a title and a proposition, and invite others to take a stance.
• Propositions and stancesIn a debate you pick a stance so readers can see where you stand.
• Adding sourcesBack an argument with a source; your reply then carries the Grounded label.
• Replying and who can join inReply to a bubble or debate, and decide who may reply under your post.
• Adding polls, images and mediaAdd an image, GIF, video or poll to your bubble — with required alt text for images.
• Scheduling postsWrite now, post later: pick a moment while writing and Debaty posts your bubble automatically.
