24 alternatives to Society Speaks
Hi HN, I’ve been quietly building an experiment called Society Speaks to explore a question that’s bothered me for a long time: Can we measure public opinion without flattening it into polls, comments, or outrage? Instead of comments or demographics, the system uses: • clear statements • simple voting (agree / disagree / unsure) • optional short explanations People aren’t grouped by who they say they are, but by how they actually respond. Using ML techniques inspired by Pol.is, this reveals natural opinion clusters, areas of genuine consensus, ideas that bridge different groups,…

My partner, Nick Hodges, and I, David Millington, have been on the Internet for a very long time -- since the Usenet days. We’ve seen it all, and have long been frustrated by bad comments, horrible people, and discouraging discussions. We've also been around places where the discussion is wonderful and productive.

It monitors subreddits for keywords, tracks mentions as they happen, and surfaces conversations where people are already asking for what you're building. What it does: - Real-time keyword tracking across subreddits - User/subreddit engagement analytics (karma, post frequency, sentiment) - Rule checker (catches common removal triggers before…
