We must come to terms with the fact that it was a huge mistake to leave the online world largely unchecked, and that we urgently need to deal with a fragmented, radicalized and instrumentalized reality in many countries simultaneously and take action instead of remaining in shock or relativization.

Extremely excited about this *new preprint*, where we use a collective field experiment with our own subreddits, which allowed us to uncover diverging factors for online participation between the very active and the passive. More details by the (as usual) *amazing* lead @lfoswaldo.bsky.social belowπ
This is insane
