Dissent: The Opinion Arena
Hot takes. Real debates
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Every opinion gets tested. Post your take, watch the controversy meter rise, and see if you can out-argue anyone in the arena.
Got an opinion nobody agrees with? Good. You belong here.
Dissent is the opinion app where bold thinkers post their hot takes, face real community votes, and battle it out in head-to-head debate battles. No filters. No echo chambers. Just raw opinions and real consequences.
Post Your Take
Share any opinion in 280 characters. Pick a category, preview your card, and drop it into the arena. Whether it's politics, sports, pop culture, relationships, or controversial topics — every take is fair game.
Let the Community Decide
Every opinion gets voted on — agree or disagree. Watch the controversy meter rise in real time. The more split the vote, the hotter the debate. This isn't a poll app — it's a battleground.
Challenge Anyone
See a take you disagree with? Call them out. Head-to-head debate battles put both opinions side by side and let the community pick a winner. Think you can out-argue anyone? Prove it.
Build Your Reputation
Every post, vote, and debate win shapes your rank. Earn badges, climb the leaderboard, and establish yourself as the arena's top voice.
If you're tired of social media echo chambers, done with being silenced for your opinions, or just want a place to argue, debate, and vote on hot takes — the arena is waiting.

Hey there! There are exciting updates, improvements, and bug fixes.
Users can now control their feed by adjusting the controversy meter and voting bar and text size. They can disable these options in the feed settings.
We’ve made some improvements to the Battles tab. Instead of having four tabs, we’ve simplified it down to two self-explanatory tabs. And guess what? New users will get a spotlight guide that explains all the key features. This way, you can get started without any confusion or having to explore everything on your own.
Now on battles screen users get the original take that was challenged so users do not need to move back & forth for context.

Hey there! There are some exciting updates and improvements, along with a few bug fixes.
Guess what? The Dissent website is now fully dynamic! You can create an account, post takes, vote, and do almost everything you can do in the Dissent App. And here’s the cool part: if you share your profile and take, the other person can access the content directly on the website without needing to create an account or download the Dissent App.
We want to give the earliest members of any movement a chance to shine, so we’re launching Arena Pioneer: an exclusive badge awarded only to the first 1,000 people who join Dissent. Pioneers aren’t just early adopters; they’re the founding generation of the Arena. Their profile will always carry a permanent badge marking them as part of Dissent’s original 1,000. And that’s not all! There’s a dedicated Pioneers section in Settings where you can browse the full list of founding members and follow them directly. This way, your early presence can become lasting visibility and influence within the community.
So, there you have it, 1,000 spots. One badge. Forever. Join Dissent and be a part of this incredible journey!

Arena Pioneer
Be one of the first 1,000 voices to shape Dissent.
The earliest members of any movement deserve to be remembered — not buried in a sea of later users. That's why we're launching Arena Pioneer: an exclusive badge awarded only to the first 1,000 people who join Dissent.
Pioneers aren't just early adopters — they're the founding generation of the Arena. Their profile carries a permanent badge marking them as part of Dissent's original 1,000. And it doesn't stop there: a dedicated Pioneers section in Settings lets anyone browse the full list of founding members and follow them directly — turning early presence into lasting visibility and influence within the community.
This isn't a gimmick. It's recognition that matters, baked into the identity of the platform from day one. The people who show up first should never look like everyone else — and now they don't.
1,000 spots. One badge. Forever.
