WHAT MAKES AGORA DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKS?

Unlike social networks built for entertainment or casual updates, Agora is
purpose-built to foster meaningful dialogue on important, often controversial
topics. Tackling complex challenges like polarization, computational propaganda,
balancing freedom of expression and moderation, Agora adopts innovative
technologies and moves beyond familiar designs like traditional reply trees to
encourage a new kind of social interaction that prevents random trolling and is
scalable.

WHAT IS MODERATION LIKE ON AGORA?

Moderation on Agora covers two types of content:

 * Objective: Content that's illegal content or spam, which the Agora moderation
   team will remove directly.

 * Subjective: Content flagged as misleading, antisocial, or off-topic, which
   will be moderated democratically by the community.

We believe in transparency, so even if moderated content is removed from the
platform, its moderation history remains publicly accessible (unless it contains
illegal material or personal details) and can be verified through a
decentralized network, Nostr.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE HUMANS ONLY?

In a world where bots outnumber humans, Agora aims to maintain the integrity of
dialogues while preserving user privacy by encouraging the use of Personhood
Credentials. They allow users to prove aspects of their identity, such as unique
personhood, age, and citizenship, without disclosing any personal information to
us. Currently, our users with biometric passports can download RariMe to convert
their passports into anonymous credentials. Due to this temporary technical
constraint, we also allow users to verify their identity using their phone
numbers.

WHAT DO DEPOLARIZING ALGORITHMS MEAN?

Most social networks today use engagement-based ranking algorithms designed to
maximize user attention and engagement. Unfortunately, these algorithms often
promote polarizing content, which tends to attract the most attention, whether
good or bad. In contrast, Agora employs bridging-based ranking algorithms that
aim to highlight content appreciated by users across different political
viewpoints. The goal is not to censor extreme opinions but to preserve a rich
diversity of viewpoints and identify common ground. Other tools utilizing
bridging-based algorithms include Community Notes and Polis.

WHAT IS OPEN-SOURCE?

Agora is fully open-source under the AGPL license, which means that anyone is
invited to review and audit our codebase. This approach maximizes transparency
while still allowing us to have a sustainable business model.

WHAT IS ZKORUM?

Agora is developed and maintained by ZKorum, a Paris-based startup dedicated to
building open-source solutions and products that rehumanize and depolarize
online social interactions. ZK refers to the use of Zero Knowledge Proof
cryptography to maximize user privacy and ensure security.
