Does money buy happiness? Posts from the richer are strikingly more positive in US and UK

Posts from richer neighbourhoods have more positive sentiment 2/n

Income shows in what you post: 1) the richer have more positive sentiment, 2) discuss crime more, 3) we can infer the income of the poster by just looking at the text. Check our #ICWSM 2023 pre-print analysing a large US & UK Nextdoor dataset https://t.co/u4cY3qXlkm 1/n
