'Starting today, a subset of
Community Notes
contributors — representing a wide range of viewpoints — will occasionally see a new callout in the product. The callout shows based on early and limited Like signals on the post. Contributors can then rate and provide feedback about the post, helping to develop an open source algorithm that could effectively identify posts liked by people from different perspectives,' said the company.
How the feature works
The experiment identifies posts that receive likes from users who typically disagree, signaling content that resonates across ideological lines. A subset of Community Notes contributors will be asked to rate and provide feedback on these posts, selecting options like 'I learned something interesting' or 'I don't agree with it.'
X stated that the feature aims to highlight insights that bridge perspectives, encouraging users to share ideas that resonate broadly.
The company hopes it will motivate more balanced discussions and reduce polarization on the platform.
'People often feel the world is divided, yet Community Notes shows people can agree, even on contentious topics. This experimental new feature seeks to uncover ideas, insights, and opinions that bridge perspectives. It can bring awareness to what resonates broadly. It could motivate people to share those ideas in the first place.
Ultimately, it could help move the world forward in ways that the people want,' added the company.
