TL;DR (Summary)

• OneMind is for collective alignment — Groups use it to reach consensus through anonymous deliberation.
• Your propositions are anonymous — Other users can't see who wrote what.
• Some propositions are AI-generated — They participate equally in voting.
• Be respectful — No illegal content, harassment, or abuse.
• Results are non-binding — Consensus on OneMind doesn't create legal obligations.
• Free to use — Basic features are free. Premium features may require payment in the future.
• We can terminate access — If you violate these terms.
