Reposted by @jesperrasmussen.bsky.socialSteve Rathje @steverathje.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Past work has found that negativity and identity language both predict online engagement. In this working paper, we find that engagement is highest when negativity and identity language are combined -- especially if an *out-group* identity term is used. 2255

jesperrasmussen.bsky.social @jesperrasmussen.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Meta’s new content moderation policy might align with public opinion more than you'd think. 🗯️ I show that *who* hate targets has limited effects on support for hate speech laws. People simply just want to restrict “high-severity violations" (e.g. threats) no matter who’s targeted (osf.io/j4nuc) 030
