New w/@scottclifford.bsky.social. Lots of work uses agree-disagree scales, and a lit review shows these are 1) frequently just measured in one direction (agree = higher trait) and 2) correlated with each other. This has potentially big issues for conclusions. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

@frontiersin.bsky.social is a predatory publisher, and not an acceptable venue to publish in. For all those who still think the opposite, here’s an invitation to edit an issue of their earth science journal (I’m a philosopher), with an equally mind-boggling explanation.

Community Notes were never going to replace fact checking. It could offer something else, something complementary. So far it does not look like it is offering much. Saying that it is a new system still being tested is simply not good enough when you are Meta. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
