🗣️ Discourse — how the crowd actually reacts
⚠️ Experimental. These views lean on automated sentiment scoring, which is still rough — read them as rough signals, not verdicts. The most reliable items here are the per-thread links (click any bubble or row to open the real archived thread) and thread velocity on the Analysis tab (how fast a topic is heating up), which doesn't depend on sentiment.
What this is
Most dashboards measure what is discussed. This measures how the crowd reacts — using the full captured replies of each thread:
- Crowd consensus — does the reply crowd agree with the OP or revolt against it? We compare the OP's sentiment to the average of all its replies. A big gap = the room turned on the opener.
- Polarisation — how split the replies are (spread of sentiment). High = a genuine fight, not a consensus.
- Writing culture — greentext, ALL-CAPS, questions, images, post length: the texture of how each board writes.
- Topic churn — which themes are emerging vs fading.
- How to read it: the consensus map and revolts table are per-THREAD (each point/row is one discussion); topic churn is per-THEME (groups of threads about the same subject).
⚠️ Anonymous imageboard discussion — noisy and manipulable. Sentiment is VADER-based. Treat as a directional culture signal, not fact.
Crowd consensus map
Each bubble is a thread. X = OP sentiment, Y = average reply sentiment. Bubbles below the diagonal = the crowd is more negative than the OP (revolt); above = the crowd is warmer than the OP. Bubble size = number of replies. Hover a bubble to see which thread it is; click it to read the thread.

🔄 Topic churn
Themes gaining vs losing threads in this window. "Emerging" = newly active themes; the number is how many distinct stories carry that theme.
