evan, I sat in on the kickoff meeting for the "AI-Curated Democratic Discourse" project for JSALT at Johns Hopkins Engineering. The team is spending the summer on new user interfaces for encouraging productive discourse in online discussions -- building it with a new Mastodon Web UI and using the fediverse discourse as a base. I am extremely encouraged by this project.
