I have decided, as a #selfhost with just two other people on my instance, that I'm going to limit threads.net following the example of @… quoted below. I didn't know that you can “unlimit” specific accounts! This is an interesting option.
For other a…

A screenshot from the mastodon admin page for the threads.net domain after it has been “limited” and so appears in the list in the Federated section as a limited account. There are a number of graphs, all clickable, that show stored accounts, stored posts, stored media, their followers here, our followers there, and reports about them.
A screenshot showing the full admin page with menu on the side ad Accounts selected under Moderation. This is where you go when you click on the stored accounts graph under the threads.net domain federation page. There are a number of accounts listed with their posts, followers, and last active.
A screenshot of stonekettle@threads.net account page in the mastodon admin shows his name and profile pic, his posts, and other stats. It is listed as “Limited”
Same screenshot as previous but now there is a green “Successfully undid limit of stonekettle@threads.net” message and the Login status is now “No limits imposed”

President Biden has turned on the Federation option for his Threads account! @potus@threads.net While we have threads.net limited here because of the expectation of poor moderation, his account, as well as a number of others, have been exempted from limiting and can be followed in hear-me.social the same as any Mastodon account. Remember, though, the feature is in beta. It's one way. You can read posts from #Threads accounts, but those accounts cannot yet see replies, nor can they see who f…

This Ford commercial on Twitter has high praise for strategies that are failing in practice: healthcare, housing, environment, education, etc.
But he fails to point out where his government excels - building wait lists. Need a family doctor, join a list. Need support for an autistic child, join 10s of thousands. Wait lists for surgery, complaining about landlord abuse, child care spots or public housing all have impressive growth rates.

In this video, Trump voters were asked to react to various things "Joe Biden did" (like suggesting covid was curable by shining light into the body). Then, the interviewer corrected herself and pointed out that Trump had actually done those things. These cultists all turned on a dime to defend Trump for the same behavior they'd excoriated "Biden" for doing, *moments* earlier.

GenAI Distortion: The Effect of GenAI Fluency and Positive Affect
The introduction of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into educational practices has been transformative, yet it brings a crucial concern about the potential distortion of users' beliefs. Given the prevalence of GenAI among college students, examining the psychological mechanisms that lead to GenAI distortion from both technological factors and the individual's psychological processes is a critical priority. A mixed-methods approach is employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Study 1 …
