Hi! This is a Plural Communication Channel (PCC) built by the Plurality Network, a group of volunteers who are committed to building assistive technologies that bridge human communication and enhance cooperation across difference for networked societies and Pluralistic Futures.
What’s a “Plurality Score?” A Plurality Score is quadratic voting adjusted by affiliations to approximate collusion-resistant quadratic voting. We use the “Connection Oriented Cluster Match Formula,” with a playful start by adjusting for your workplace and Civ6 political ideology. Communities can encode other parameters for correlation discounts (such as geography and investor bases), and can other incorporate social markers like Verified Credentials and Soulbound Tokens.
Why Plurality Scoring? With collusion-resistant QV, communities can both capture the intensity of the members preferences (QV), while discounting the influence of social clusters that may otherwise drown out minority voices. When multiple perspectives agree a question or issue is important, it surfaces to the top, thereby eschewing attention-capture and power concentration of a social cluster.
Plurality Scores are a first and playful step towards decentralized community attention curation. Try it out for setting the agendas of conferences, surfacing important proposals for votes, and elevating community questions for on-going deliberation.
We encourage you to run your local community channel, adapt it to your community’s communication needs, hidden collusions, and privacy preferences.
