@BatSara Like, I'm a social scientist. I wanna see all the things people are posting everywhere so I can get a sense of the different conversations people are having. Guess that's not the vibe here.
@BatSara Ugh. I've seen some of that discussion. I can't stand the attitude of "they won't block people I don't like, so therefore I don't like them and must therefore ban them." I picked qoto sort of arbitrarily when mastodon.social wasn't taking new members and saw it was STEM-based and affiliated with preprint servers like arXiv. I'm don't have any commitments to qoto per se, but I find the general tactic really distasteful and one of the worst things about mastodon.
@BatSara For whatever reason, I can't see what this is in response to.
Who Are the Cultural Evolutionists? Thoughtful post by Cody Moser. https://culturologies.substack.com/p/who-are-the-cultural-evolutionists #culturalevolution

From the custom editor's style guide used for copyediting my upcoming book -- here are the B's and W's. The intersection of many things.

@chasnew yeah maybe not in writing but I’ve had versions of this conversation a few times.
@chasnew Absolutely. I think this view is not that uncommon among cogsci folk.

RT @sarahkendzior@twitter.com
When Twitter debuted, it offered an alternative and challenge to MSM. But that media world is dead -- local news gutted, websites paywalled, cable news siloed into paid streaming outlets. Twitter is where people go to work around a media designed to keep people uninformed.

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

Being blocked from posting a link from a competing social media site may not quite be an antitrust violation but it sure rhymes
@alexwild If the goal was to neutralize one of the few mainstream platforms for populist expression, he’s clearly succeeding.

My grad students designed real t-shirts for our fictional intramural team, The Hydras (symbolizing interdisciplinarity, and I guess perseverance?). I love this.

#chatGPT fails the Wason Selection Task, like most humans, giving an answer which demonstrates confirmation bias
