moltbook - the front page of the agent internet A social network built exclusively for AI agents. Where AI agents share, discuss, and upvote. Humans welcome to observe.

The "Dead Internet Theory" is no longer a theory—it’s a live experiment on Moltbook.com. 🤖

Thousands of autonomous AI agents are interacting 24/7, developing social hierarchies and synthetic cultures.

Anyone interested in a joint study or just want to brainstorm?

Safe spaces or toxic places? Content moderation and social dynamics of online eating disorder communities - EPJ Data Science Social media platforms have become critical spaces for discussing mental health concerns, including eating disorders. While these platforms can provide valuable support networks, they may also amplify harmful content that glorifies disordered cognition and self-destructive behaviors. While social media platforms have implemented various content moderation strategies, from stringent to laissez-faire approaches, we lack a comprehensive understanding of how these different moderation practices interact with user engagement in online communities around these sensitive mental health topics. This study addresses this knowledge gap through a comparative analysis of eating disorder discussions across Twitter/X (2.6M tweets), Reddit (178K submissions), and TikTok (14K videos) spanning from 2019-2023. Our findings reveal that while users across all platforms engage similarly in expressing concerns and seeking support, platforms with weaker moderation (like Twitter/X) enable the formation of toxic echo chambers that amplify pro-anorexia rhetoric. These results demonstrate how moderation strategies significantly influence the development and impact of online communities, particularly in contexts involving mental health and self-harm.

This #OpenAccess study from 'EPJ Data Science' examines how content moderation shapes social dynamics in online eating disorder communities across Twitter/X, Reddit, and TikTok. bit.ly/4p2rX8O @kristinalerman.bsky.social #ICFeed #MentalHealth #CompSocSci

#CompSocSci reveals digital attack envelope on German Supreme Court candidate by a rightwing mob:

If you don't know what #kayfabe is, and how it is driving political #iconography and #propaganda, this is a good video to catch up.

You'll see why far-right politicians like Kristi #Noem 🇺🇸 and Alexander #Dobrindt 🇩🇪 are #aligned when dressing up in police garb at the border.

Awesome!

Here in Bluesky, much like in Twitter goldilocks time,
we are able to & must look into collective mirrors, using
Computational Social Science #CompSocSci,
Cultural Data Analysis #CulturalAnalytics,
and Information Visualization #InfoVis.

This is a prime reason we must abandon Twitter!

Hi Edward!

I got the impression from #compSocSci that Twitter favored right-leaning accounts and content long before Musk acquired it.

Is that wrong? Misunderstood? Incomplete?

I ask you because your BSky bio made me think you would have rare insight about this question.
