I feel like this fact can be treated as possibility to get an advantage, not as an excuse.

podbrushkin@mander.xyzto Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•Mentions of the word "fascism" and its derivatives in Pravda, the main Soviet newspaper, from 1938 to 1942English31·3 days agoSome software solutions exist, e.g. War and Peace by Tolstoy can be downloaded with metadata, ids are assigned to all characters and when one character tells something to another, this is highlighted as “x speaks to y”, and you can run a community detection algorithms on this data. I think in the paper they’ve been mentioning some proprietary software. I suspect detecting who speaks to whom is even harder.
Also, some form of crowd sourcing probably should be possible. At least collecting scans is possible on wikisource and wikimedia commons.
Probably AI language models should be pretty good in distinguishing between linguistic ambiguities.
I dream for a time when such reports as in OP post will be a matter of work for an hour or two — because data will be already collected and clean.

How many magazines and newspapers are digitized in the way you can analyze them like that? This is a simple word-based analyze, also those texts can be enriched with metadata, e.g. mentions of people can be marked with their identifiers in Wikidata.

Apparently, I saw it because my block list had a flaw.

On fediverse projects - yes. In mainstream social networks - no.

Does this picture mean “consume a lot of posts and news on these topics and participate in comments section”?

Sure it will be very interesting to investigate phone models to pick from. Indeed we are good at tricking ourselves. Creating “windows” with no phone at all works better for me.
It’s imgur, pretty unpleasant website.

podbrushkin@mander.xyzOPto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•[Suggestion] Custom filtering of feed by keywordsEnglish3·9 days agoThis is awesome. I believe difference from client-side filtering is that filters will work everywhere you login with your account. Do you happen to know estimated 1.0 release date?
podbrushkin@mander.xyzOPto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•[Suggestion] Custom filtering of feed by keywordsEnglish1·9 days agoProbably there’s too small userbase for continuous subscribable block lists. I think I’ve seen some people sharing their blocklists on anonymous imageboards. When you can import/export block lists as plain text, probably it is enough.
Consider checking syntax where it’s already implemented and adding this import/export functionality.
A step forward could’ve been adding some logic: e.g. some keywords are filters for posts, some for comments, some for community/instance name. Maybe complex filtering can make federated “global” feed much more satisfying.
Yes, same applies to PixelFed. Ice Cubes client doesn’t require an account, but it crashes regularly.
I was hoping to get a better experience in the dedicated official app. There’s nothing wrong with that. In a browser even twitter can be accessed without an account (even though unofficially), that’s not the point. “Just go to browser” approach can be taken further: “just go to another social network”.
