Why Unswayed
A higher-agency default for online information.
Decide before the crowd does
Unswayed removes popularity numbers so you can evaluate ideas on their own merit first.
Hide metrics, not interaction
You can still like, comment, subscribe, share, upvote, and discuss. Only the social scoreboards are removed.
Free and open source
Unswayed is free to use and fully open source, so you can inspect the code and contribute improvements.
