This sounds nice, but is a dumpster fire in practice. You see it all over facebook. If we really did agree in one spirit, it would work, but there is so much division, this inevitably becomes a ton of infighting over doctrine.
More to the point: it probably wouldn't function as a giant melting pot. Heck, that barely works here; pedes get into shouting matches with each other about who's a real Trump ally and who's not, what's a psy-op or a LARP and what's real, and so on. It would only be worse when you get dispensationalists, amillennialists, Calvinists, Arminians, charismatics, cessationists, and, of course, all the denominations in one place.
To function properly, it might have to be divided, and sub-divided, not by theological preference but by subject. If you want to talk eschatology, you hop onto the eschatology tab, then look for posts tagged with your particular interest. Of course, there should always be one page left for general discussion.
And, of course, the site should moderate itself as strictly as we do here. Posts that don't fit the mission of being a 24/7 rally don't last long here. Nor should posts that don't fit the mission of helping build and edify Christian community survive there. It is a place for Christianity and should stay that way.

Firstly, beautiful username.
