What are Experiments?

Experiments on Clovord are controlled feature rollouts that allow us to test new ideas, changes, and improvements in a safe and structured way.

Instead of releasing new features to everyone at once, Experiments help us observe real-world behavior, collect feedback, and ensure that changes improve the platform without introducing instability.

Why Experiments exist

Clovord is constantly evolving. Experiments allow us to:

• Introduce new features gradually
• Validate usability and design decisions
• Improve performance and reliability
• Reduce the risk of large-scale regressions

This approach ensures that changes are tested under real conditions before they become a permanent part of Clovord.

What Experiments can affect

• User interface and layout changes
• Server and role configuration options
• Discovery, moderation, or safety tools
• Performance optimizations (often invisible)

What Experiments are not

• They are not punishments
• They do not affect trust, standing, or moderation status
• They are not permanent by default

Experiments may change, be paused, or be removed at any time based on stability, feedback, or results.
