Gather with provenance
The Moot discovers official records, local reporting, community material and advocacy. Each record keeps its origin, date, locator and content hash.
The editorial method
Less heat. More signal.
The Moot is designed to make public disagreement more legible without pretending that disagreement can—or should—disappear.
Let AI propose
AI groups related material and drafts structured claims. It cannot publish, infer a person’s politics or invent missing evidence.
Require an editor
An editor reviews the evidence, language and source mix. Published briefs are immutable versions with a correction trail.
Reward contribution
Members vote on whether a contribution adds signal—not whether it matches their opinion. Every vote includes a reason.
Non-negotiables
What The Moot refuses to optimize for.
Outrage and raw engagement
Anonymous character attacks
One-number human worth
AI-inferred ideology
Source-less factual claims
