Did you really have to use our community for this study? Couldn’t you have asked for consent?
Excerpt: This approach was reviewed and approved by the University of Zürich’s Ethics Committee, which acknowledged that prior consent was impractical.
What a Joke 😶

It Was an Ambush Today marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy.

Feb 28 “will go into the history books as one of the grimmest days in American diplomacy, the beginning of a long-term disaster that every American,every U.S. ally,and anyone who cares about the future of democracy will have to endure.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Before you all delete your accounts on X, you should consider deleting content but "donating" them to science. Many institutions, such as @gesis-dataservices.bsky.social might use them to scrape more effectively than via burner accounts.
