Predicting Bluesky’s Scale with Jaz
Bluesky has been on a roller coaster of growth for over a year. From the early days of figuring out a new distributed social protocol—AT protocol—to actually buildi…
At today's #IC2S2 Methods and Measurement session, Linnea Gandhi @linneagandhi.bsky.social presented her study with Elizabeth Tipton and Duncan Watts, which tests whether research syntheses can predict the results of new studies and highlights the challenges of producing generalizable knowledge.
I’ll be at #IC2S2 this week! I will be presenting two papers from my lab, led by my amazing students @laylab.bsky.social & @elhamagk.bsky.social. If you’re interested in narratives,mental health, stigma, or NLP, let’s connect! Looking forward to catching up with old friends, and meeting new people.
From @mkarhulahti.bsky.social, me, @nballou.bsky.social, and Ivan Ropovik, newly accepted at Collabra: Psychology. This concerns a Nature: Human Behavior publication on the impacts of a Chinese anti-gaming policy. The paper has serious flaws making its results unsupportable. osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/n2rka_v4

One of the issues that has come up again and again in my reporting on misinformation and social media is the massive influence social media companies have on research in the field. Last night a preprint dropped that tries to get at this with some numbers. My piece in @science.org (and 🧪🧵 coming):
Nearly a third of social media research has undisclosed ties to industry, preprint claims
www.science.orgOkay, who's going to write a response to this... @eikofried.bsky.social @ajshackman.bsky.social @awaisaftab.bsky.social @nicolecrust.bsky.social nature.com/articles/s41398-026-03943-5
Remarkable how over a decade ago @michaelnielsen.bsky.social pointed the way towards solving long standing issues plaguing science to this day (issues that are all the more relevant in the age of AI mediated science)

This is why @atproto.science is so relevant rn This compilation of essays indicates that scientists are most frustrated by insufficient “community tools and resources... Essential infrastructure for sharing, maintaining and building on existing work and data is also badly underdeveloped." >
Quoted (with @zephoria.bsky.social and Jeff Hancock) in this @acm.org article about what happens when people retreat to AI over their social interactions -- the loss of friction, trust, and effort could be devastating. 1/ cacm.acm.org/news/is-ai-creating-a-culture…
