"Trump is a vehicle of divine Providence", said Bannon, as a cloud of flies buzzed around him, feeding upon his rotting, reanimated flesh

We must come to terms with the fact that it was a huge mistake to leave the online world largely unchecked, and that we urgently need to deal with a fragmented, radicalized and instrumentalized reality in many countries simultaneously and take action instead of remaining in shock or relativization.

Extremely excited about this *new preprint*, where we use a collective field experiment with our own subreddits, which allowed us to uncover diverging factors for online participation between the very active and the passive. More details by the (as usual) *amazing* lead @lfoswaldo.bsky.social below👇

How do major real-world events shape online conversations?
With Anna Mancini, @giuliocimini.bsky.social @ric-dicle.bsky.social we found that while activity surges, users repeat the same ideas at an accelerating pace, limiting meaningful discussions.

Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."
