Migration needs more common ground!?

Glad to join Konrad's excellent "Migration Debates" on the importance of compromise with Marc Helbling and Oliviero Angeli.

The interviews are available in English (and German) here:

Interesting how there really isnt much variation across the major platforms.

Jasper Tjaden @jaspertjaden.bsky.social · 2d

Looking for studies that show memership composition in terms of "political idealogy/ party preferences" of large social media platforms. Any hints?

Glad to see this out at @ajpseditor.bsky.social! I show that the immigration-crime issue, when salient, can shift leftist cosmopolitans to the Right. This is due to leftist voters being more conservative on crime than leftist parties.

Here’s the partisan lean of platform audiences, 2020 → 2024.

📊 Instagram, TikTok, Reddit stay solidly Dem.
📊 Facebook & YouTube: modestly rightward.
📊 Twitter/X: sharpest move right.
📊 “Other” (Threads, Bluesky, etc.): flipped hard from red to blue.

The sorting is unmistakable.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The Potsdam Social Media Monitor (psmm.info) measured which parties new, unpolitical users are exposed to more often. Maybe unsurprisingly, #Afd dominates. We delve into the reasons why.

Our new IMR paper on the great replacement theory is now open-access. We find that about 20% (!) of German adults believe that white majorities are being deliberately replaced by non-white immigrants in a secretive attempt by malevolent elites to undermine their own country.
