Mod Post Introducing Bridging Bot.

0 Upvotes

Hey, r/Unexpected!

Over the last few months, the mod team has been working with Plurality Institute (a research nonprofit working towards a healthier, more collaborative internet) to develop a new mod helper: Bridging Bot.

This bot will occasionally flag, summarise, and offer advice for heated conversations, based on well-tested mediation practices. The intention here is to help both the mod team and, more importantly, the subreddit as a whole, practice more constructive communication when talking about difficult issues.

During this time, you might see posts or receive a message from u/Bridging_Bot. The trial will run for at least six weeks, after which we will decide whether or not it is helpful enough to continue participating in the sub.

If you ever run into issues with u/Bridging_Bot, and would like to contact the Plurality Institute team directly, feel free to just send a message to the bot.

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns about this collaboration or the project, please reach out in this thread or you can message the mod team. Cheers!
