Just downloaded my Twitter archive again and converted it to Markdown, including high-res images this time. I suggest you do the same if you want a backup of your data that is independent of Twitter’s servers and free from obfuscated t.co links.

Here’s a quick how-to:

A research team tested the reliability of the dot-probe task across 36 versions in 9,000 people.

“Conclusions: The emotional dot probe task is not an adequately reliable measure of individual differences in attentional bias to threat. We identified no parameters that produced attentional bias scores that had adequate reliability to justify inclusion in research studies that seek to quantify differences between people, including individuals with elevated anxiety.”

Among many other toxic behaviors, Musk is indifferent to sexism and racism. Employees described blatant sexual harassment and retaliation for reporting it. Similarly Black workers were fired for complaining about being called racial slurs.

Please don't use #Fedified! 🙏

This is what it says about itself:

"(Fedified) is *the* way to make sure that you're following the account managed by the same person you used to follow on Twitter."

It wants to be a central authority. This is dangerous, and opposite to what the Fediverse stands for.

People become dependent on a central authority, then it gets bought out by billionaires.

You can already verify your account on here without using any centralised lists:
