Can we develop an app for more meaningful discussions on social media?

One of the main frustration I have with WhatsApp is that you cannot go into a deep discussion. Whenever something interesting is happening and I try to go deeper into an issue, other participants ask not to continue because it fills their feed.

to much talk

So how can we go a little bit more deeper in WhatsApp discussion?

One solution is to open a new group for the subject, But then we lose the whole group and we cannot go back to the group with our conclusions in an efficient way. Also in moving to a new group we may lose other participants which may have an interest in the issue.

open a new group

To solve this problem I suggest a new design for a discussion app. According to this design, first, we will link between a group and a subtopic. the link will be done using “create sub-topic” button:

link to sub topic

To be able to communicate our conclusion back to the main group we will add the converge discussion module on the sub-group (like in delib.tech). The top selected conclusion will I’ll be represented back to the main group.

summary of discussions

The main group participants will be able to see the summary under the open topic. The topic will also appear under the main group-topics menu:

group-topics

I do tend to think that such an architecture will enable us to create and deeper discussions in our social apps.

What do you think? Can you propose another architecture?
