On Monday, I wrote an essay about climate and biodiversity for Scientific American. I tracked proportional engagement, calculated as (likes + shares + comments)/followers, over six social media platforms.

The winner? MASTODON, by a landslide.

Second place? INSTAGRAM. It's harder to share posts on IG, but lot of people like things there!

The loser? FACEBOOK, also by a landslide. On Facebook, I've been shadow-banned since August 2018 when they listed clean energy and climate as "socially sensitive topics" so my page there stopped growing 6 years ago and now only about 1% of my followers there ever see my posts. It's actually too bad, because that's the platform where I reach the most conservative audiences through their connections to friends and family. So even though it's dead last, I still persist.

Today in Labor History May 26, 1824: Women and girls led the first recorded factory strike in US history. 102 women and girls walked off the job at Slater Mill, in Pawtucket, and picketed their factory.
Two days prior, the owners had increased working hours by an hour per day with no additional pay. Additionally, they slashed the pay of power-loom weavers by 25%. Those affected were all women and girls aged 15 to 30. According to the bosses, the girls had already been earning “extravagant wages.”

The owners were caught off guard. They were not expecting a protest. Indeed, no U.S. factories had ever experienced a strike. Perhaps even more shocking, other workers and community members joined them in solidarity. They blockaded the mills and hurled rocks at the mansions of the owners. On the final day of the week-long strike, workers set one of the mills on fire. The next day, the owners agreed to negotiate and agreed on a compromise.

Mam déjà vu... Rosjanie pracują nad własnym odpowiednikiem Wikipedii. Trzecim z kolei od wszczęcia działań wojennych w Ukrainie. Jeszcze w sierpniu ub.r. pojawił się Runiwersalis (ros. Руниверсалис), potem zapowiedziano uruchomienie projektu Wiedza (ros. Знания), a teraz okazało się, że osoby, które zajmowały się wcześniej rosyjskojęzyczną wersją Wikipedii, stworzą Ruwiki (ros. Рувики). Anton Gorełkin, zastępca przewodniczącego parlamentarnej komisji ds. polityki informacyjnej, zasugerował na Telegramie, że chodzi o "oczyszczenie wikipedyjnych treści z fejków i jawnych kłamstw". Innymi słowy, twórcy Ruwiki - zamiast pisać artykuły od zera - skopiują je z oryginalnej Wikipedii, usuwając/zmieniając fragmenty niezgodne z rządową linią propagandową. Tak przynajmniej zakładają donoszące o tym media, a kierownik projektu, Władimir Medejko, zdaje się to potwierdzać.

People really should stop spending their time on websites owned & run by super rich weirdos

Instead they should spend it on sites run by regular weirdos like you and me

🇵🇱 Na Twitterze afera bo ktoś zaczął wnikać w treść rozprawy doktorskiej Bartosiaka i znalazł tam fragmenty zbieżne z publikacją RAND. Nie, nie w formie cytatu... Kilka lat temu zmusiłem się do przeczytania jego "Rzeczpospolitej..." i znalazłem obszerny i bardzo szczegółowy fragment o kanałach na Podlasiu, który był niemal słowo w słowo przepisany z artykułu jakiegoś lokalnego historyka. Co zabawne, ten artykuł był nieco dalej wspomniany w treści książki, ale oczywiście wszystko wcześniej *nie* było cytatem, tylko niby oryginalną treścią autora. Biorąc pod uwagę, że cała książka jest napisana tuzinem nie pasujących do siebie stylów, nie zdziwiłbym się gdyby w większości powstała w ten sposób.
