This is my website I am working on. While not technologically advanced, it's basically MVP stage. Looking for anyone interested in trying it out.
This is just for elected officials or for any government employee? Or is it also open to staff, faculty and students at any US postsecondary institution?
> Only .EDU or .GOV emails may register
What does that accomplish?
I work at a major research university as a software dev in a unit that is all about public opinion and such. I am well qualified to drop names, and think my opinion about ‘should this be a prop or a state in React?’ is well-informed but I make a point not to say anything online which anyone might interpret as having to do with domain expertise for my unit.
That is, I have no special qualification and neither do undergraduate students, alumni, food service workers, fitness instructors and many other people who are blessed with an .edu address.

Exactly my thoughts. You might notice that I asked

It's an experiment. Had the project for so long that I opened up to .edu as well because I'm not getting any users.
I'd be concerned that people would be afraid it was some kind of plot.

Sometimes it is frightening how much you can find out about somebody online. I'm pretty glad that people who try to look me up online might confuse me with some others with the same name such as a neurosurgeon with a hole in his head from Hyannis, MA and a bodybuilder from Toronto, a motorcycle assassin from Quebec, etc.

Open to all of the above.
Interesting project, good luck with it. I'm curious about you decision to include .edu addresses. Aren't those given out to students?
Also how are you planning to prevent it from becoming a cesspool of hate and misinformation like Facebook, Twitter etc?

I think it would naturally become safe from being a cesspool because the ideal platform will force real identity.
