New @acm-cscw.bsky.social paper, new content moderation paradigm.
Post Guidance lets moderators prevent rule-breaking by triggering interventions as users write posts!
We implemented PG on Reddit and tested it in a massive field experiment (n=97k). It became a feature!

This @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social paper argues that LLM responses in big5-style tests are reliable. LLM responses across various settings (eg, languages, prompts) vary less than human responses. Yet, the external validity of these tests for LLMs remains unclear.

Can we detect #hatespeech at scale on social media?
To answer this, we introduce 🤬HateDay🗓️, a global hate speech dataset representative of a day on Twitter.
The answer: not really! Detection perf is low and overestimated by traditional eval methods

New paper: Do social media algorithms shape affective polarization?
We ran a field experiment on X/Twitter (N=1,256) using LLMs to rerank content in real-time, adjusting exposure to polarizing posts. Result: Algorithmic ranking impacts feelings toward the political outgroup! 🧵⬇️
