Discussions

Mission-relevant first, then by volume. Badge = relevance to the Free Systems mission (freesystems.net).

Tracked topics — persistence & magnitude

Discussions that proved durable (2+ days, or mission-relevant across platforms) become tracked topics. The chart shows each topic's share of the day's total discussion; the list groups topics by theme. Sustained, high-share topics are the research-decision candidates.

Reach over time

Each line is one discussion thread followed across days (matched by shared vocabulary). Rising lines are conversations gaining reach.
