X (formerly Twitter) has launched a pilot program under its Community Notes system to highlight posts that receive positive engagement from users with diverse viewpoints. This initiative aims to surface content that resonates broadly, rather than polarizes.
The company is inviting selected Community Notes contributors to share why they liked or disliked certain trending posts especially those gaining likes from users who don’t usually agree. The feature builds on X’s “bridging algorithm,” which already ensures that fact-checking notes only appear when contributors from different ideological backgrounds agree on context.
X has faced criticism over its content moderation and slow fact-checking processes. This pilot is an effort to expand Community Notes from fact-correction into a tool for identifying unifying content—surfacing posts that bring users together across political and cultural divides.
It’s a signal that the platform wants to promote more positive engagement while tackling the ongoing issue of ideological echo chambers.
X (formerly Twitter) is testing a new Community Notes feature designed to identify and highlight posts that are widely liked by users with differing viewpoints. This experimental tool invites selected contributors to explain why they liked or disliked a trending post, especially when it’s gaining traction from people across ideological divides.
