Schon traurig, dass man in manchen Apotheken extra sagen muss „bitte was evidenzbasiertes“, weil einem sonst überteuerter Zucker als vermeintliche „Alternative“ gegen ernste Beschwerden vorgeschlagen wird. Dieser Quatsch muss endlich aufhören. 🙄

We should recognize now that using a platform like Bsky or any other text-mode social media network is a deliberate choice instead of a norm. And optimize for the kind of person who makes that choice

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.

Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵
First dataset for the new @huggingface.bsky.social @bsky.app community organisation: one-million-bluesky-posts 🦋

📊 1M public posts from Bluesky's firehose API
🔍 Includes text, metadata, and language predictions
🔬 Perfect to experiment with using ML for Bluesky 🤗

THEY DOXXED EA-NĀṢIR
Ea-nāṣir lived in n. 1 Old Street (this is a modern name completely fabricated by Sir Leonard Wooley, the excavator at the time) of area AH. This home was finely built and stood with an area of 110 m2, an average home in this neighborhood being about 70 m2.

This is interesting. NPR left Twitter six months ago and saw only a single percentage point difference in traffic despite having over 8 million followers. (Algorithmic changes meant people weren’t seeing/engaging with their tweets anyway) niemanreports.org/npr-twitter-...

Had another round of fun with a right wing, Putin-friendly Austrian "newspaper". Some folks suspect them to use ChatGPT & Co. to write articles now.

Since I was busy doing other shit, I delegated the "analysis" to ChatGPT. And you'll never guess what "we" found out :D 🧵

„The New York Times found that in a judicial review of 98 of those homicides, 55 of the slain women were scored by VioGén as negligible or low risk for repeat abuse.“

„Spain exemplifies how govt.s are turning to algorithms to make societal decisions, a global trend that is expected to grow ..“
An Algorithm Told Police She Was Safe. Then Her Husband Killed Her.
Spain has become reliant on an algorithm to score how likely a domestic violence victim may be abused again and what protection to provide — sometimes leading to fatal consequences.

Die unfassbare Unehrlichkeit ist das Schlimmste.

Es ist in Wahrheit extrem einfach, respektvoll mit jemandem ganz anderer Meinung zu sein, wenn man das Gefühl hat: Die Person hält für wahr, was sie sagt. Es ist wuterregend, wenn man weiß: Die Person stellt sich dumm/lügt mich an/wüsste es besser.

Angst um die Sprache ist eine gesellschaftliche Obsession. Paranoia in Bezug auf Anglizismen oder "Gendersprache" führt zu ständigen Kontroversen.

Diese Angst kann aber auch die Grammatik betreffen, wie Philip Kraut (@herbilis.bsky.social) in seinem Text zeigt.

Exciting news: We’re taking another step to making Bluesky an open network for public conversations.

Around the end of this month, we’ll release a public web interface. With this, you’ll be able to view posts on Bluesky without being logged in on an account.
