Great find… All this time I’ve gone with ugly alpha hacking and overly smooth kdeplots.
I agree, although I think the same might be said about the anecdotes you are citing, which sound hard to believe and designed to flatter the reader’s own biases. I’m open to being proven wrong but it sounds a bit sketch.
Twitter is now a very unfriendly place for people with left wing views. But I actually think it’s more friendly to moderates than Bluesky. And I’m not just talking about the composition of the population. If you post centrist stuff you have a higher chance of getting trolled here than there.
It’s of course a very different experience for people with left wing views over there, especially on social issues.
I lurk on here a bit, but mostly use Twitter since vaguely moderate views are still more accepted there. I never get trolled there but know I will here. Not the only metric that matters of course, but relevant to me personally.
