"seems like it'd attract exactly the people who don't need it though"

I know you're joking a little, but aren't the people that hold incorrect beliefs exactly the type of people that need an emotional way to connect to others (the opposites) that are informed to resolve these differences? Often I find that people with strongly held views are able to reach small compromises via personal communication, rather than any counter facts/news. Whether this particular implementation/solution works, time will tell :)

I agree whole-heartedly, and I've seen this happen a lot on Twitter (though clearly it is not the norm there, from what most people say). My point was more that you'll have to work pretty hard to find and attract people who actually need your platform, because being closed-minded is seemingly what got them into that mess in the first place.

Revisiting this: I've curious if you have any suggestions on how you might try to solve this problem?
