This is a new platform, so the rules will constantly be tweaked and we need more people discussing so we can figure out the best way to rank and reward participation. The current model is heavily influenced by engagement, but that wont be the case at scale.

What i am most excited about is this is a great use case for Bitcoin that supports the same ideals of freedom and equality

There is an active discussion happening right now on Defunding the Police.

From the discussion topic:

“Defund the police” means reallocating or redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies funded by the local municipality. It's as straightforward as it sounds: Instead of funding a police department, a sizable chunk of a city's budget is invested in communities, especially marginalized ones where much of the policing occurs.

To be eligible for competitive debating in this discussion, focus on the following concepts:

-How reallocating funds decreases crime (cite examples of community funding that lead to decreased crime) -How defunding police departments will increase crime (cite examples of decreased funding that led to an increase in crime) -The pros and cons of disbanding police departments -Alternatives for community-led public safety

Fact submission can be done directly on Twitter or the community Discord channel
