Take a side

An opinion post asks where you stand — on a hot take, a confession, a prediction or a debate. Tap your side, then see how everyone split.

Updated

An opinion post is something people take sides on. It comes in different forms — a hot take, a confession, a question, a prediction, a story, a debate — and each has three sides to pick from, worded to fit: Agree, Not sure and Disagree on a hot take, Same, No judgement and Not me on a confession, For, Undecided and Against on a debate.

An opinion card: “Voice notes after 10pm should come with a warning.” with Agree, Not sure and Disagree to pick from
Tap the side you’re on.

Steps

  1. Read the post. The top of the card says what it is and how many have taken a side.
  2. Tap your side.
  3. The sides fill in to show how the Yard split.

Anonymous posts

Some opinions are posted anonymously. They show Anonymous and a mask instead of a name and photo. You take a side the same way; nobody can see who posted it.
