How to read the stance column
  • alignedPosted on the theme, and it accounts for at least 10% of that account's output in the window.
  • quietPosted on the theme, but it is under 10% of its output — engaged, without making it a priority.
  • silent on this themeWas active in the window but did not post on this theme once. The account had something to say and this was not it.
  • no postsPublished nothing at all in the window, on any theme.
Share is measured against each account's own volume, not the room's — a ministry posting three times is judged on those three, not against one posting forty.
