"The order, aggravated by Trump's illegal attempt on intervening on Brazil's sovereign institutions, comes before..." -- there you go, corrected it for you in case you have any spine left and would call it as is

This is awful... 🤦

Funny thing, "there are many Brazilians on this platform" exactly because another platform refused to comply with the most basic things to operate in the country, such as having legal representation.

Maybe we wait and see on this one before announcing it's the death of social media?

Well done, @arifosch.bsky.social

On top of leaning towards this with the usual networks + nonlinear dynamics toolkit (I suppose I will be able to call myself a computational social scientist at some stage?), we will deal with a good amount of information theory. Feel free to reach out if you are curious about the project's details!

I am really glad I had the opportunity to work with co-authors who are so knowledgeable on the topic. Thanks very much @pietrotraversa.bsky.social @ymoreno.bsky.social and @guifarruda.bsky.social for the amazing work. Be sure to check the pre-print.

Our comparison of the model against empirical data also provides additional evidence that real-world rumor propagation tends to occur near criticality, opening the door to a more detailed understanding of rumor dynamics in Higher-order systems. 4/5

Interestingly, our analysis reveals continuous transitions in both homogeneous and heterogeneous hypergraphs, challenging the idea that higher-order interactions necessarily lead to discontinuous transitions. 3/5

and then compare it with empirical rumour cascades reconstructed from Telegram and a dataset of e-mail threads. We show that the model has two distinct subcritical behaviors that can coexist. 2/5
