Bluesky Map Interactive map of 3.4 million Bluesky users, visualised by their follower pattern.

bluesky-map.theo.io

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Are digital traces giving us a biased view of polarization? 🤔

New paper by Yijing Chen, @elisaomodei.bsky.social & co-authors shows that APIs capturing only visible engagement (💬 YouTube comments) may suggest stronger segregation than less visible forms (▶️ views).

📍Gastbeitrag im Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger: „Viele Veedel, drei Wahlmuster“🗞️

Ich zeige, wie sich Köln politisch in 3 Wahlmuster aufteilt – mit einer Trennlinie 4,5 Kilometer rund ums Rathaus.

Köln steht dabei stellvertretend für westdeutsche Großstädte.

Mehr gibt's in meinem Buch „Wo wir wie wählen"!
