Thoughts aren’t shown in the same order to everyone.

In the Rate Thoughts step we select the next thought to be rated at random with some balance towards trying to make sure that each thought is seen an equal number of times, and that participants see a diversity of thoughts.

Our platform is built on the philosophy that every voice matters in a conversation, especially on a topic that affects people both personally and directly. This means that we do our very best to ensure that everyone’s thoughts are heard equally and treated with the same amount of respect, regardless of which thoughts might be “trending”, or which thoughts were shared first, or which thoughts were shared most recently.
