Agora was used at a student MUN (model united nations) conference today! Looking forward to rolling out more use cases and collaborations!

The committees that used Agora came up with more similar clauses for resolution papers, compared to the ones that didn't. Delegates seemed to agree with each other more after using Agora. [2/X]

This could mean that Agora succeeded in bridging the gaps and helping the delegates to draft clauses based on common ground. [3/X]

The surprising downside is that some delegates started using Agora as a "propaganda tool" to persuade the swing delegates... For example, saying "you see, all others agreed on this idea so you should agree with us too!" [4/X]

maybe it's ok? I'm seeing that kinda comment as a bid for values. They're making a gamble that more people will value "universalism" (maybe a better tactic amongst impressionable students), but they might be wrong. Some will lean away from it. Feels ok for all of this to play out in plain sight :)

True! I also think we should raise more awareness of the difference between "consensus" and "majority" for ordinary users.

But also, I think I'm being devils advocate! It's also concerning, for a lot of big reasons, and something to always watch and draw attention to :) maybe there's an in-situ way to help regular ppl be more aware of such effects in the system in which they participate 🤔
