You are right to be skeptical. I thought maybe some niche outlet set out to do some experiments, or something like them: https://ground.news/

Thank you for your comments! I'll think about everything, and yes, it would be super nice to collaborate.

you are right about the fun part being "hidden" at first until you vote, you don't have to make a user tho, I kinda focused on privacy a lot. If you vote for more than 3 things, it should already locate you in a group and show you the map. But I'm not a UX expert, so this flow could definitely use some improvements.

At any point, you can see the current clusters and how they compose themselves.

There is also this: https://memoria.uy/clusters/report/, which is the nerdy part, and currently not so interesting because of the lack of traffic in the latest weeks

thank you for taking the time to read!

Retention is ofc one of the main issues. Already built there is the chance to suscribe to email alerts. For now it's once a week something like you have X news to vote, this are the current clusters or "bubbles" in the platform. But I've also thought of something more tailored to the user's preferences so far.

I've put some effort also in the sharabilty of links, that *might* be a reason on why platform might be fun to use i.e: "The majority thinks this is good news, how about you?" or "I'm in the Apocalypse bubble at the moment, where are u?"

some of that can be tested here clicking in share: https://memoria.uy/mapa/

Memoria.uy is a live civic platform where people vote on news articles as good, bad, or neutral, and the system clusters voters into opinion “bubbles” based on patterns of agreement.

Here's the pitch: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sHNyi8M-bdLXBkprV02cjDzukrT_7s-HIspk75-Ce2M/...

First of all, thanks for reading and taking the time to comment.

Yes, good, bad, neutral is how the piece of news makes me feel, no te presentation of the event. Tho there is something interesting to do if I can identify two different presentations for the same piece of news: then I can study how different framing changes how people feel about the event reported.

Success would be being a widget that online media outlets embed in their articles, similarly to how they enable comments. 

Success would be people experimenting with the different timelines, "affinity news", "bridge news", and "opposite view news". I think this would play nicely with Bluesky feeds, for example.

thanks again! I will check out "social media for egregores"... looks fun
