Pretty cool, but without some clear plan for moderation, the site will be overrun with bots and misinformation very quickly as it catches on. There's already a post spreading vaccine misinformation.

Also as the user count increases and the number of active conversations increases, the first page is going to become extremely chaotic to the point that it will be hard to find conversations you are interested in. Is there a plan for adding some sort of filtering?

Additionally, the actual conversation screen seems to be using screen real estate extremely inefficiently. The left part of the screen is largely empty and wasted space. It seems like it would be a lot more efficient to put the two panes vertically.
