Paper titles from different fields sometimes sound very niche. But this one caught my attention and I was very lucky to continue reading. This is so insightful and enriching for my own work. Highly recommend!

You wouldn't know this from following mediated debates in Germany, but it turns out there are reasons beyond illdefined anxieties about immigration for where and why the far right wins votes...

Now out in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. In our new article, @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I show that where local rent prices increase more, residents with lower incomes become more likely to support the radical right AfD.

How many citations in scholarly papers are ERRONEOUS CITATIONS? (citations that do not support the statement they are cited against)

Comment your guess before reading the answer in the next post.

Interesting discussion! But if one described the information ecosystem as transpersonal whole, one would have to drop the ecosystem metaphor. Inf ecosystems consist of their actors, environments (platforms), the information itself and the mutual interactions between them. All shaping the IE

What actions would “recognizing“ this risk entail?

✨ New open-access paper ✨

We explored language similarity between Querdenken (Telegram) and German politicians (Twitter). In short: AfD’s communication most similar, but parts of FDP and CDU/CSU also find common ground through discrediting left-wing politics.

Protest movements against COVID-19 containment measures, like Germany’s Querdenken, aim to put their position on the political agenda. The German far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) acted...

But the manual search in the premium app is still a great tool for risk analysis.

(And, as in the screenshot, it shows you the amount of automated fake scam channels out there)

Just as an update - I tried the premium subscription (in the name of science!) and the search works. But the endpoint you found only searches within channels the Telegram account is already subscribed to. No *real* global search. Nothing like this is implemented yet, it seems. A pity.

Sorry, I am not a Premium subscriber, yet 🥲

Kilian Buehling @buehling.bsky.social · Aug 7

That looks interesting indeed - it seems like I’ll have to buy a premium subscription and try it out! Thanks so much for catching this

Update: Russia plans to go through with their plans to control digital communication. Whatsapp and Telegram possibly face bans, as the govt builds a Chinese-style everything-app together with VK. It’s called ’Max‘.
