Who uses Civi?

Civi provides a space for anyone who is looking to break free of their bubbles and move past difficult divides. Unlike other major social media platforms, Civi is the only platform that is built around enabling users to create meaningful and positive connections with people with different viewpoints than their own.

We aim to bring together the 77% of Americans who believe that our differences are not strong enough to keep us from coming together. You can talk about anything you want with your matches, all we ask is that you do so respectfully and with the intent to listen as well as share.

FAQs

Where does the name Civi come from?

Civi is a playful derivation of the words civility and civic (as in, civic space), which are central tenets of our platform. We want to create a space where people can constructively engage with and learn from people with different perspectives than their own.

Who is behind Civi?

Civi was started by a bunch of individuals concerned with the current state of incivility in society and the increasing chasm between people with different viewpoints. Our founders include Josh Woodard, Mannie Ajayi and tech partner, NAXA. Civi is not affiliated with any political party or organization and everything we do is viewed through a lens of nonpartisanship.

Sounds great! How can I use Civi?

Civi is currently in open beta testing on Google Play and the App Store.Once you check it out, we happily welcome any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports at contact@gocivi.com.

How do you match me with others?

Civi optimizes your matches according to the issues you care most about. We only suggest matches to you with people who have a different perspective on those issues than your own.

How do you reward civility?

Civi encourages users to rate each other solely on how civil and respectful they have been in conversation—not how informed they think the other person’s opinion is. Over time, low rated users will not match with high rated ones. This helps us to create a more positive experience for all by weeding out bots, trolls, jerks, and others with malintent.

How do you protect users' privacy?

What happens in your chats stays between you and the other person. We do not monitor or "sniff" those messages. Any insights that we share with third-parties are based on aggregate data (for example, on the issues users care about), and not micro-level user data. No one except yourself will ever know how you self-identify on any issues you select.

I’m interested in partnering with you, what should I do?
