Maybe we broke out of echo chambers but greeted by the chambers of anger? We will investigate this in future work!

Using the Perspective API, we found that CPIs are nearly twice as likely to be toxic—especially among users on the political extremes:
~8.5% of CPIs are toxic
vs ~4.5% of non-CPIs in the same ideological zones.

We analyzed 3M replies from 2020 and find that 34% were directed to users from opposite political alignment.

They are more common on political topics than on everyday issues, reaching 50% on some topics. However these interactions are more likely to be toxic.

Is social media still a political echo chamber?

Collaborating across 7 institutes in the UK, Spain and Turkey, we published a new paper at the International Conference on Web & Social Media @icwsm.bsky.social "Cross-Partisan Interactions on Twitter"

Bluesky'da Twitter'da yaşadığım problemin aynısını yaşıyorum: sadece takip ettiklerimin tweetlerine bakacağım ama tek bir kişi günde 1000 tweet atarak anasayfayı ele geçiriyor.

Algoritmanın hazırladığı anasayfaya bakarsam ise takip etmediklerimin gönderilerini görüyorum.

Bana ortası lazım

The problem with Threads was that commercial accounts migrated before the genuine users and my timeline was full of memes. There was no opportunity to settle in the platform and have a joint experience with friends.

I feel the same vibe from the Discover section of Bsky, hopefully it will be better
