Today's question

Showering: mornings to wake up or evenings to wind down?

Pick your answer and join the waiting list — we let you know as soon as it is your turn.

Nobody yet today — you can go first.See how the day unfolds

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.

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.

How does Debaty pick what's shown here?

What is happening now

Topics that are getting more attention this week than usual. We count unique people, not clicks.

Nothing in English yet this week — you're seeing all languages.

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.

  1. European, with the caveats included

    Servers, database and storage sit in the European Union under European law with one Dutch company — except images and video, which live with the American Cloudflare.

  2. We do not sell your data

    No advertising profile and no reselling: we count visits cookielessly on our own servers, and ads attach to the topic you are reading, never to who you are.

  3. You can see why something is on your timeline

    For every bubble you see why it reached your timeline, you adjust what counts yourself, and what you set to zero really does weigh zero.

    How the timeline works →

  4. 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 anonymously, and replies that bring a source get the Sourced label.

    Our guidelines →

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 in beta. 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.

Debaty is opening in phases

Creating an account is still invitation-only. Join the waiting list and we will let you know as soon as it is your turn — we let small groups in, so there is always something to read.

Join the waiting list

Debaty is for everyone aged 16 and over.
