X Launches Pilot to Spotlight Posts Liked Across Political Lines

The test invites U.S. Community Notes contributors to rate highlighted posts based on early like signals to train an open-source bridging algorithm.

X rolls out pilot for Community Notes

Overview

  • A subset of U.S. Community Notes contributors now sees callouts on posts that garner early positive like signals from ideologically diverse users.
  • Contributors rate highlighted posts by responding to prompts on why they like or dislike the content to inform algorithm training.
  • The bridging algorithm, whose code is publicly available on GitHub under X’s build-in-public approach, aims to identify content that resonates across differing perspectives.
  • Callouts and contributor ratings remain confined to the pilot and do not affect overall post visibility or reach on X.
  • X will review pilot outcomes and contributor feedback before expanding the feature to a wider audience.
