Cool, an Oxford study that isn’t insulting.

To whom? Cambridge students?

FenrirIII@lemmy.world on 21 Nov 23:29 collapse

If those Cambridge students could read they’d be very upset.

Do we also need a study that water is wet?

DeadWorldWalking@lemmy.world on 21 Nov 22:25 next collapse

Idk if this is really true.

People get their accounts banned on this site for wrongthink constantly

This shit isn’t meaningfully different than reddit

einkorn@feddit.org on 21 Nov 22:35 next collapse

Well, maybe you subscribe to the wrong subs on the wrong instance?

Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 21 Nov 22:57 next collapse

Alternately: a 1 hour old account may not be entirely truthful about why they were banned

einkorn@feddit.org on 21 Nov 23:03 collapse

Touché

Banned from lemmy.world for telling a woman she was “Dumber than shit” for voting for trump and then defending him in a thread here.

Well, that’s not called wrongthink, that’s just being an asshole.

Tbf “dumb” is ableist. You’re shaming anyone who isnt “high iq”, and IQ, and measuring intelligence in general, is doing the nazi’s work for them.

Tbf you can insult someone’s actions without resorting to personal attacks. “Voting for drumf is tantamount to shooting yourself through both feet and still managing to pierce your ear with the bullet…but hey at least it’ll match your furher’s ear” (See how i use the opportunity to be creative and provactive with a hint of dark humor?)

Aaaaand tbf “wrongthink” absolutely gives off qanon/kekistan" vibes so dont be surprised when talking like this turns you into a person people dont want to be around.

i have only heard the term “wrongthink” used by those who participate in pretty not cool places.

edit: did I get downvoted for wrongthink? lol

DeadWorldWalking@lemmy.world on 21 Nov 23:48 collapse

I got my last account on here banned for telling a woman she was dumb for voting for trump

You’re thinking of the wrong wrongthink

Nima@leminal.space on 22 Nov 00:15 collapse

there’s too much stuff to keep track of, man. all I know is that when I see that term, it sets off a red flag in my brain.

Zip2@feddit.uk on 21 Nov 23:02 collapse

I thought water wasn’t wet, just the stuff it touches.

AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee on 21 Nov 22:29 next collapse

This justifies the amount of time I spend on Lemmy so I’ll believe it without so much as clicking the link

The study talks to 16 Mastodon admins who got to say what they thought Mastodon did. It’s not really a study, it’s just a survey. Being posted here is just confirmation bias. For Mastodon to increase citizen empowerment, there has to be something measured and a control group that isn’t on Mastodon.

From the abstract

In this paper, following a pre-study survey, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 Mastodon instance administrators, including those who host instances to support marginalised and stigmatised communities

You really have to read beyond the headline. This isn’t Reddit.
