THE QUESTION

Why do people like filter bubbles?

Does one significantly influence the other? Three quarters of the votes cast decide.

Viewing as guest. Enter a handle to join and take part.
Questions are shared out between groups, so you get the ones your group was given — not all 90.
why
Nobody could answer several hundred pairs. Each pair goes to one group; a pair that splits is then referred to other groups, so it can appear in your list later even though it started elsewhere. The settled count includes every group's work, which is why it climbs faster than your own list shrinks.
23 / 90 settled 0 for you to answer 3 contested (parked, visible)
Last tally: 20 decided · 0 escalated to cross-group panels · 3 contested · 67 below quorum — panels need at least max(2, 75% of panel) votes cast; your smallest panel has 12 members.
