A megastudy on a national sample of partisans (n=32,059) tested 25 interventions designed to reduce anti-democratic attitudes & partisan animosity.

The top 3 were:
-intergroup contact
-addressing mistrust in the media
-creating a common ingroup identity

@tomwbird do you mean you won't feel like pretending to be a bull next time you go to a restaurant in Moscow?

You should take curating your social media feed very seriously. Three things that we know are contagious through social media, even if you think you are immune:
🤬Emotion
⁉️ Misinformation. If you see something repeated, it seems more true
💡Ideas. Diverse info makes you creative

As a climate scientist who risked arrest last week to save our planet, I am trying to get the word out into the mainstream as quickly as possible. Would you help me get to 200K followers to help amplify the scientist rebellion? We need all the help we can get!

A woman burst onto Russia’s main live evening newscast today with a sign that says:

“Stop the war
Don’t believe propaganda
They’re lying to you”

And chanting: “Stop the war! No to war!”

"The algorithm" sounds mysterious & menacing. But the key choices behind Facebook's news feed are simpler than you might think, albeit w/ profound ripple effects.
