Ignore the word “civilised” and focus on “discourse construction kit.” The world has changed somewhat since the early 2010s. “Civilized” may now be a loaded term for some people. Maybe “civil” would be a less loaded word. The essential idea as I understand it is that Discourse is intended to be a tool kit for facilitating online discussions. I also think the community aspect of Discourse has been significantly prioritized since it was first launched.
You should have a look at the sites listed here: https://www.bensfriends.org/community-list/. They are all using Discourse.
I believe that is a common issue with healthcare related forums. I’ve seen issues related to HIPAA compliance come up a few times. I assume other jurisdictions have similar regulations. It might be worth getting in touch with someone from the Ben’s Friends sites to see if they have any ideas about that.
Well it’s my biggest difficulty. Generating ideas is easy. Executing them hard.
I thought of that service as more related to the exchange of attention than about accountability. What interests me is that someone has turned such a strange idea into a viable business.
