Hello!

Earlier this year, you signed up for updates about bridging systems (systems that build mutual understanding and trust across divides) from Aviv Ovadya and Luke Thorburn. We now have some we can share!

• Our paper "Bridging Systems: Open Problems for Countering Destructive Divisiveness Across Ranking, Recommenders, and Governance" has just been published with the Knight First Amendment Institute. Read it here.
  
• We also just published "How to redesign social media algorithms to bridge divides", a short piece in The Conversation about bridging-based ranking. Read it here.
  
• In July, the Editorial Board of The Washington Post explicitly emphasized the need for more research into the potential of bridging systems, and linked to a story about our preprint. See their editorial here.

Relevant threads on Twitter/X, Bluesky and Mastodon.

Thanks for your interest and support! We’ll keep you posted.

Luke + Aviv
