Revise The "Build Your Algorithm" Banner's "Set Your Echo Chamber Preferences" Subheading
In order to more effectively communicate the goals and the value of the Build Your Algorithm compass tool, we should change some of the copy that appears in the newsfeed placement, as well as the modal view of the BYA tool.
For reference, this is the newsfeed placement:
This is the modal view of the core BYA component:
Current language:
Newsfeed component:
- Build your algorithm
- Set your echo chamber preferences
Modal view:
- Build your algorithm
- The preferences you set will improve your recommendations over time as the open source machine learning monkeys evolve. Don't worry, it won't impact your default newsfeed.
Desired language:
Newsfeed component:
- Build your algorithm
- The preferences you set will improve your recommendations
Modal view:
- Build your algorithm
- The preferences you set will improve your recommendations over time as the open source machine learning monkeys evolve. Don't worry, it won't impact your default newsfeed. Learn more.
Acceptance criteria:
- Given a user is logged into Minds,
- and the user has not already dismissed or completed the Build Your Algorithm survey,
- then the Build Your Algorithm prompt should appear at the top of the newsfeed,
- and the language used should match the language described under "Desired language" above.
- And when the user clicks into the Build Your Algorithm newsfeed component,
- then the BYA modal component appears,
- and the language used should match the language described under "Desired language" above.

Summary
In relation to a discussion that both @ottman, myself and several other community members had within the #canary:minds.com Chat room today (20211215 - re: below URL), it is considered that the "echo chamber" phrasing within the "build your algorithm" banner subheading which is displayed within the Newsfeed section is inappropriate and could be considered as being a form of poor public relations.
There has been a couple suggestions to replace the "set your echo chamber preferences" phrasing, these include:
- Set your social sphere preferences
- Adjust your playground preferences
- Set your safety bubble preferences
- Set your unique personal preference
- Control your content preferences
- Set your personally directed content curation preferences
- Manage your news and content preferences
- Adjust newsfeed algorithm to your personal preferences
(Note: further suggestions maybe added to this ticket depending on community feedback.)
