Request for productive input.

A friend of mine is starting on a passion project (or possibly a startup? I'm unclear) on the subject of "creating productive, pro-social discussion spaces in order to encourage a return to reasonableness, moderation, and peaceful disagreement". He's been asking around for peoples input regarding different design decisions and such that could be made that would encourage such things. Does anybody have any strong thoughts on this subject?

I'll share what he's come up with so far, but I want to hear all of your input first because I don't want to bias the brainstorming

This is going to sound weird coming from me, based on my ideological preferences, but if he wants results: immediately eject anyone engaging in bad-faith shit without mercy or appeal, including concern-trolling, entryism, etc.

He's going in the direction of "private, curated, invite-only" so so far that seems out of scope of the design parameters
