Not only did she block me, she deleted her incredibly muddled answers to my super basic methodological questions

The amazing thing about white papers is that you get to have peer review from an unlimited number of sources before committing to a project. Itās far more rigorous than regular peer review, in a way, since you invite one and all to scrutinize your method. Will look out for it!

Otherwise itās not really a dataset per se, itās just a spreadsheet, ykwim?

Or if itās a binary variable, then it might look like a list of criteria used for classificatory purposes, with some examples of what was and was not included and why/ why not šš»

Assuming what youāre saying here is a reflection of the analysis, it sounds like the dependent variable might be āproblematic action?ā
So then the Q is, how is āproblematic actionā operationalized? Whatās the metric? How is it calculated? Thatās the methodological write-up Iād want to see.

Or are you simply building a dataset of descriptive stats here?
Maybe Iām reading too much into āanalysis?ā
I am also unclear about criteria for case selection, but thatās a separate question I think
I have to log off, maybe youāll reply later. And if not, Iāll look for that white paper!

Yes but Iām still struggling with the more fundamental basicsā¦ with what the dependent variable of this analysis isā¦
Another word for dependent variable can be āoutcome variable,ā maybe itās the terminology Iām using
comment in response to
post
I totally get that this is network analysis (Iāve done some myself).
I guess Iām confused about where the analysis is very generally headed? I think the simplest way I can put it is to ask what the dependent variable is

To clarifyā¦
I thought this was an analysis that maps abusive patterns? I guess Iām interesting in learning more on how youāre operationalizing that specifically.

Your only variable is also your case ID variable? I guess I donāt understand what you mean when you say youāre going to run an analysis then?
Whatās the ultimate dependent variable here?

And to be clear: I reject the academic monopoly on āpeer review.ā
What I am saying here is that I of course embrace peer review as a ***general concept***, as a basic good-practice principle for data
Not suggesting this had to go thru academic channels. Community review is all good ofc!!!

If we access the data, there will be a methods section or write up attached, yes? As a researcher myself, i ofc always get more from the nitty gritty on operationalization etc . Network analysis is super tricky and understanding the operationalization is key to interpretation

Looks like reviews are the main way to share thoughts with others?
comment in response to

Is there a way to add actual notes to the reading journal; or it is just a log of what youve read?
No need to share instructions if there is a way, just would like to know so I can motivate myself to keep trying (so far the app doesnāt seem to allow this, but I tend to give up easily)

I read a lot and have so many notes, would be fun to connect more with folks also doing the reading (Iām currently reading Care Work too, among other things)
comment in response to
post
I use zotero to organize my reading notes because it has a handy way to semi-automatically add pdf links (super relevant for journal articles), and because it folds into word processing applications so citations are easier
Wish there were more functions for sharing tho. Will check out storygraph

PS this is feeling like a classic philosopher/sociologist conversation, I love it
comment in response to
post
In other words, clean idealistic models for single-purpose platforms donāt feel like the best thinking tool here. Iām open to it tho! Just not seeing it right now
comment in response to
post
Iām not sure itās fair to assume little overlap between community functions vs activism functions. As a sociologist, I think of many examples of how these functions are inextricably intertwined, often in thick ways. I suspect assuming itās one or the other might be a problematic premise

Sometimes we get trapped by our own metaphors / models

Hmm Iām still thinking this feels very zero-sum to me, and Iām not at all convinced it has to be

That doesnāt sound like a good path.
What do you think about this one tweak: official accounts (corporate accounts, public office) can still block, but everyone still gets to see the blocked posts? And the current Bluesky rules can continue to apply to everyone else?

I refuse to accept we canāt consider both things at once

Thoughts on the trade off here, besides the fact that yes thereās obviously a trade off?
And do say more about this radically different platform you have in mind!

Bluesky blocking feature is great from the POV of neutralizing trolls, but itās bad news for activism. Itās so easy for corporations etc to just block and invisibilize any criticism
Thoughts from fellow activists?
