Give your Take (top-level comment) on any post.
Tap or click any post that interests you.
Tap or click the + Add Your Take button.
Choose Yes (agree), No (disagree), or Other (Neutral / other) for a more structured discussion. Or just like and comment.
Write your Take. Takes default to Other (neutral), so low-key posts stay low-key.
Rate and discuss the Takes.
Tap or click the stars icon to rate a Take: 3 stars (Best), 2 (Great), or 1 (Good).
You get one of each of these ratings per post. Use them wisely.
Ratings feed into the Yes (green) /No (red) /Other (white) score bar.
You can also like a Take or comment, but likes don't affect the score.
Highly rated Takes (more stars) rise to the top, with Yes, No, and Other shown in alternating order so all sides get a fair representation.
Square One megathreads are a core feature of LVL Square. You’ll see these posted by @lvl-square-one. These daily curated and community nominated posts are specifically for debate and meaningful discussion. There’s always something worth diving into. It’s about getting back to square one, breaking down barriers and creating a shared dialog that other platforms struggle to support.
LVL Square is built for better discourse. The best arguments rise, minority views don't get buried, and every side is represented. We built the structure so you can walk away with a fuller picture, not just the most popular opinion. No gatekeeping, no algorithmic agenda.
LVL Square is a public square on level ground. For all of us.
With your help we're building the type of platform and community we all deserve.

I think this is exactly what social media has been missing. Most platforms let minority views get buried. Then apps become a one-sided echo chamber and the people who really need to talk to each other... don't. The Yes/No/Other structure promotes balance.
