Talking about certain topics openly — politics, religion, social issues — can genuinely cost you relationships or worse. But avoiding those conversations doesn't make them go away. It just makes people angrier and more isolated. I wanted a place where you could say what you think, face to face with someone who disagrees, without it turning into a mob. Structured, live, with real stakes — but safe. That's Perikto. It started with just open video debates. Then I added timed turns — 2 minutes per side, no interruptions — and suddenly it felt like actual debate. Respectful. Sharp. The kind of conversation that's hard to have anywhere else right now. The audience piece made it feel real. Viewers react, chat, and judge the debate as a whole. When people are watching, you argue better. It's completely free. Start a debate in seconds or just watch one. Would love your feedback — what topics you'd want to debate, what felt confusing, what's missing. Still early, and every reaction helps. Happy to answer anything below!
