Researchers building tools to fight political polarization on social media.
This free online tool helps you see how strong your social media echo chamber is. If you use Twitter, you can sign in to learn if you mostly follow people who think like you do. The tool looks at the political views of famous accounts you follow, like politicians and news people. It gives you a score from 0 (most liberal) to 10 (most conservative) based on who you follow. This helps you understand your own political bubble and how it might affect what you see online. You need to turn off ad blockers to use it.
These Twitter bots help people see moderate political voices from the other side. Each day, the bots share 12 messages from people who often appeal to those with different political views. The bots filter out mean or toxic messages. There are two bots - one shares moderate conservative voices, the other shares moderate liberal voices. You can follow one or both bots to learn what moderate people on the other side think about issues. This might help you understand different viewpoints and find common ground.
This free online tool looks at your Twitter posts and tells you how liberal or conservative they sound to other people. You log into the app with your Twitter account, and it uses computer learning to score your tweets from very liberal to very conservative. The tool is 76% accurate based on research with Republicans and Democrats. It helps you see if your online posts match your actual political views, which can help reduce political polarization.
Some things cost way more when we keep them.
