THE TIMELINE / PUBLIC REACTION

What moved the conversation?

20documented events

This profile has no perception score yet. The previous system generated one from the wording of each event, which read subject matter as conduct: documenting a scam, a death or an assault scored like committing one. That model was withdrawn. During the read-only beta, dated events remain visible without pretending their wording measures audience reaction.
