If people want to be part of a limited community that’s fine and well. The issue I have is that a lot of people joining lemmy don’t know what beehaw is about and join it just because it’s a name they’ve maybe heard of. Then they’re completely unimpressed by lemmy, not knowing they’re only part of a fraction of the federation. Next thing they’re back on reddit or whereever.
Also, as someone with access to the majority of lemmy instances, I’ve only ran into maybe a handful of assholes on here. I’m really not sure what beehaw is trying to shelter it’s users from. It’s easy enough to block someone on the rare occasion.

TITLE:
Exploring the common good through social psychology
.
URL: https://www.psypost.org/exploring-the-common-good-through-social-psychology/
<p>Some topics are hard to define. They are nebulous; their meanings are elusive. Topics relating to morality fit this description. So do those that are subjective, meaning different things to different people in different contexts.</p>
<p>In our <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/bjso.12713">recently published paper</a>, we targeted the nebulous concept of the “common good”.</p>
<p>Like moral issues that elicit strong arguments for and against, conceptualisations of the common good can vary according to the different needs of individuals and the different values they hold. One factor that <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19379034/">divides people</a> is political orientation. Those on the far left hold very different opinions on moral and social issues than those on the far right.</p>
<p>How can we expect people across the political spectrum to agree on a moral topic when they have such different perspectives?</p>
<p>If we set aside the specific moral issues and focus instead on the broader aspects of the common good as a concept, we may well find foundational principles – ideas that are shared between people, ideas that are perhaps even universal.</p>
<h2>Folk theory</h2>
<p>To find such underlying commonalities, we used a social psychological <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1990-98641-000">folk theory</a> approach. Folk theories are non-academic or lay beliefs that comprise individuals’ informal and subjective understandings of their world.</p>
<p>The concept of the common good bleeds into cultural perceptions and worldviews. The currency of such ideas influences how we think and what we talk about with other people. By asking people to write about or define elusive concepts, social psychologists can search for frequently expressed words and phrases and derive a shared cultural understanding from the collection of individual texts.</p>
<p>We asked 14,303 people who participated in a larger study for the <a href="https://australianleadershipindex.org/">Australian Leadership Index</a> to provide a definition of the common good, also sometimes called the greater good or the public good.</p>
<p>The sample was nationally representative, meaning it reflected the demographics of the Australian population at the time the data was collected. We then used a linguistic analysis tool, called the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count program, to analyse the responses.</p>
<p>The program has a new function called the <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/358725479_The_Development_and_Psychometric_Properties_of_LIWC-22?channel=doi%26linkId=6210f62c4be28e145ca1e60b%26showFulltext=true">Meaning Extraction Method</a>, which processes large bodies of text to identify prevalent themes or concepts by analysing words that frequently occur in close proximity.</p>
<p>Using this method, we explored Australians’ definitions of the common good. From the word clusters derived from this analysis, we identified nine main themes:</p>
<ul>
<li>outcomes that are in the best interest of the majority</li>
<li>decisions and actions that benefit the majority</li>
<li>that which is in the best interest of the general public</li>
<li>that which serves the general national population rather than individual interests</li>
<li>that which serves the majority rather than minority interests</li>
<li>that which serves group rather than individual interests</li>
<li>that which serves citizens’ interests</li>
<li>concern for and doing the right thing for all people</li>
<li>moral principles required to achieve the common good</li>
</ul>
<p>Interestingly, these broad themes did not differ for the most part between right-leaning and left-leaning participants, meaning they were shared by liberals and conservatives alike. There is indeed common ground in people’s understanding of the common good.</p>
<h2>A working definition</h2>
<p>These nine themes thus reflect a deeper conceptual structure. They can be distilled into three core aspects of the common good. These relate to outcomes, principles and stakeholders.</p>
<p>The first describes the <em>objectives</em> and <em>outcomes</em> associated with the common good – for example, the decisions and actions that are seen to be in the best interests of most people.</p>
<p>The second refers to the <em>principles</em> associated with the common good and the <em>processes</em> and <em>practices</em> through which the common good is realised.</p>
<p>The final aspect relates to the <em>stakeholders</em> who make up the community or communities that are entitled to the common good and its benefits.</p>
<p>From this we arrived at a working definition of the common good:</p>
<blockquote><p>The common good refers to achieving the best possible outcome for the largest number of people, which is underpinned by decision-making that is ethically and morally sound and varies by the context in which the decisions are made.</p></blockquote>
<p>In the definition above, you will detect the nine components, as well as the three broader themes.</p>
<p>While we identified a shared understanding of the common good, it is important to acknowledge that people may share the “big picture” of the common good, but differ when it comes to the social and moral issues they prioritise and the practical ways in which they think the common good should be achieved.</p>
<p>For instance, <a href="https://www.wiley.com/en-au/Why+We+Disagree+about+Inequality%3A+Social+Justice+vs+Social+Order-p-9781509557134">recent research</a> suggests that people care deeply about fairness, but society is divided by how they view fairness concerns.</p>
<p>On one side, you have the social order perspective, which focuses on processes or <em>how</em> justice is achieved. On the other side, the social justice worldview is concerned with outcomes and <em>what</em> justice looks like as a result. Both sides share a disdain for inequality, but don’t often see eye to eye about naming or fixing societal inequality.</p>
<p>If the two sides were willing to start by finding their common ground, using our working definition to probe for areas of convergence first, then moving on to discuss areas of divergence with an openness to learn from each other’s strengths might become possible. Intractable conflicts could be broken down and systematically addressed. Of course, this requires a willingness from both sides to lower their defences and listen.</p>
<p>Community leaders will encounter challenges when they unite to advance the common good. Leaders from different industries bring different backgrounds, education and priorities to the table. In order to integrate their efforts, it becomes essential to set aside contextual (and often biased or partisan) understandings of the common good to focus on the “big picture”.<!-- Below is The Conversation's page counter tag.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !pikmin
It’s a little different with gender. Like consider if I was ugly and I hate the experience of living in my body despite It’s generally considered pretty impolite to comment on that sort of thing. A barista saying “Good day ugly person, how would you like your coffee?” would probably elicit frowns and gasps from onlookers. Like it’s generally possible to go around knowing you’re not great looking because you are no surprise to yourself but it’s possible to exist in a state where you are not always conscious of the perceptions and thoughts of how other people code you because your attention can be allowed to drift. But the constant feedback snaps you back into place.
Gender comes with a whole bunch of assumptions, way people unconsciously react, restrictions on places and events where you are considered an oddity and commentary. How often does a person refer to you in the third person where you can hear? How often are you called “sir” or “ma’am”. Every instance of that happening in society is lke that person being called ugly by the barista above. You are suddenly aware of the way your body is preceieved and all the social baggage in your life that you have to deal with. For the rest of the world being called mister, sir, miss or ma’am doesn’t strike the same cord as “ugly” does in everyone. The people who feel nothing from those gendered words don’t even notice them. But when you are trans you are reminded the same way you are if you stand naked before a mirror.
Because when I was figuring myself out there wasn’t much information about the existence of trans people I didn’t really know surgery was an option I could pursue. There were issues with my body that puberty had already made irreversible and there’s a moment you realize no fairy godmother is going to come out of the woodwork to make things right. So I sobbed long and hard in the shower just in complete dispair that this was it. No one would ever see the real me, I would be invisible trapped my life would never be better. That this was it.
I ended up not transitioning for reasons of love. My partner whom I love more than life has a phenotype preference. Normally I have a lot of tricks to get through my day. I distract myself, I try never to linger in front of mirrors and when I do I try to focus on the clothes I am wearing or my hair or the scraps of my physical appearance I like. I ask my friends to use names, pronouns and social aspects of gender to help me continue on crutches through my social interactions… But whenever I am misgendered in public or on the phone a part of me goes right back to that moment in the shower every single time. It can happen multiple times a day because I don’t pass. People freely remark on my biggest hatred of my physical experience on this earth directly to my face and there is not a damn thing I can do about it but take the hit most days because out there what’s happening is normal. I live in that world because the sacrifice I made ultimately brings me joy regularly…but my relationship isn’t typical. It’s not everyone who finds someone they feel is worth making daily sacrifices to be with and it requires a lot of things to be going right in my life to be okay. But I still have bad days… If I remained stuck in that moment in the shower over and over again with nothing to show for my trouble and no way out that feels like relief I would be tempted to do a lot worse than just slice off a couple of chunks of flesh.
Being fat holds social stigma sure… But how strong could you be in the face of that if people, not just cruel ones, everyone, made oinking noises in your wake everywhere you go?
Sure, and that’s roughly the same amount of entropy as a 13 character randomly generated mixed case alphanumeric password. I’ve run into more password validation prohibiting a 13 character password for being too long than for being too short, and for end-user passwords I can’t recall an instance where 77.5 bits of entropy was insufficient.
But if you disagree - when do you think 77.5 bits of entropy is insufficient for an end-user? And what process for password generation can you name that has higher entropy and is still easily memorized by users?
You can change your display name but your user handle is fixed.
I imagine being able to change your user handle could cause issues with federation. If you changed your user handle, your instance would have to notify all other instances. If one instance didn’t get this information, your account before and after the change would look like two separate accounts on that instance.
Forget AI. Google just created a version of its search engine free of all the extra junk it has added over the past decade-plus. All you have to do is add “udm=14” to the search URL....
Using just one example: I used to go to Google to search for news articles. Now, I cannot find those same articles using Google, but if I search really, Really, REALLY hard I can sometimes find them using DuckDuckGo (DDG). The search experience using Google was a million times better, ten years ago, than DDG is now, however DDG can work, whereas Google flat refuses to work no matter what I try.
And the reason why is illuminating: they try to push their SEO content, to “sell” me what they want me to see, rather than what I wanted to see. Even if I typed in the exact, precise title of what I wanted, but then lets say that I am off on one word like not sure if it was plural or not hence cannot put the title in quotes, Google will not show it often even on higher page numbers like 10, and instead just shows a steady stream of “popular” content. I recall a specific instance where I literally had the article pulled up on my phone, and I was trying to find the same article from a year or two in the past and even typing in the title, it just wouldn’t do it, so I gave up and just typed out the URL manually. Sometimes also I will try to find a specific video, and it shows me videos that they think I want to see, but even with the title matching it really struggles to show older content, even when it was super popular at the time.
Tbf it has actually gotten much better lately, compared to a couple of years ago, though the way that it seems to have gotten better is with all these extra ad-ons that they’ve put onto their pages. Like it used to be that if you pick some random word - let’s use “serenity” as the example - it would show you almost nothing related to the definition of that word until page 2 or 3, and instead show various pages about the (awesome) Joss Whedon movie of that name. Now, the little blurb (“widget”? I have no idea what that element is called) from Oxford Languages showing the dictionary definition as the second-to-top item, almost, after a very small “See results about Serenity 2019 film”, and also a whole right-hand sidebar (on my desktop browser) about it, but the point is that it does show the definition, very high up in the list. Then for me I get imdb (2005) film, imdb (2019) film, wikipedia (2005) film, and then finally the Merriam-Webster definition page (btw I really hate how browsers won’t allow us to select text that we would like to copy, but they have decided that they know better what they will allow us to do). And then ofc Serenity official trailer with Matthew McConaughey, Rotten Tomatoes review, again a Dictionary(.com) definition, the Serenity Symphonic Metal band, Amazon.com HD-DVD, Cambridge dictionary - this is a lot better than it used to be! And yeah, DDG is similar.
It is a constantly evolving landscape, and depends heavily on what types of content you are searching for too.
I was confused as these two person are on different sub-domains of bsky.social (url after the @ symbol). Does this mean they are on different instance? AFAIK most mastodon server I see have different domain (specifically, different combination of top level domain and second level domian).
EDIT: I see, theur user name is the subdomain, and things before @ is their display name. Not the most conventional system, but it makes sense.

I’m running a search instance on a VPS so my home IP isn’t linked to my searches. The main disadvantage is that my VPS is in Toronto and I live 2hrs away so geo searches don’t work very well.

It is what the author wrote but it’s basically like saying Winnie the Pooh has themes of childhood innocence… Yes. It does, sure, but would you bother writing an essay on it? Deeper reads of the text give you a lot more subtext. Like for instance how the plight of the Fremen and the spice trades mirror the political situations in the Midde East, Atraidies and Harkonnen are rips of Greek and Finnish names with many of the main offworld characters having Biblical (Hebrew or Roman) names while Fremen are specifically sort of coded as Bedouin /Islamic Zen Buddhist mashups and sometimes they straight up speak Arabic. So the offworld Empire gets kind of “Western Civilization” coded and the desire for emancipation is taken over by an inevitable religious fanatism caused by essentially an offworld sympathizer who is the result of hundreds of years of Eugenics becoming a messiah figure basically being a better indigenous people then the indigenous people who are ultimately pawns in a female lead conspiracy that fucked up because of one woman’s choice to have actual reproductive autonomy…
Dune’s got a lot subtextually going on worth talking about but “Tough conditions tough people” isn’t what I find interesting about the story. I get that from a lot of places so it doesn’t feel particularly unique or special to the story.

TITLE:
No gender bias in voter reactions to political flip-flopping, study finds
.
URL: https://www.psypost.org/no-gender-bias-in-voter-reactions-to-political-flip-flopping-study-finds/
<p>A recent study published in the <a href="https://doi.org/10.1017/XPS.2024.4"><em>Journal of Experimental Political Science</em></a> investigates the impact of political repositioning on candidate evaluations, focusing on whether gender influences these perceptions. Conducted in Flanders, the research finds that politicians who frequently change their policy stances are viewed less favorably by the public, regardless of gender.</p>
<p>The motivation behind this study stems from the dual expectations placed on political parties. On one hand, parties are expected to maintain clear, stable policy positions, which fosters trust and ideological clarity. On the other hand, parties need to be responsive and adaptable to changing public opinions and circumstances.</p>
<p>Previous research has shown that changing policy stances, known as repositioning, can damage a politician’s reputation. However, it remained unclear if this reputational cost is gendered. Given that female politicians are often perceived as more honest and reliable, the study hypothesized that women might face harsher judgment for changing their positions, potentially violating these positive stereotypes.</p>
<p>“I became interested in the consequences of party repositioning for party reputations because there seems to be tension between two core elements of political representation,” said study author <a href="http://www.mauritsmeijers.eu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maurits J. Meijers</a>, an assistant professor of political science at Radboud University in Nijmegen.</p>
<p>“On the one hand, we want parties to have clearly identifiable policy profiles. We want to know what parties stand for and we want parties to be committed to their ideological beliefs. This would require parties to be steadfast in their policy positioning.”</p>
<p>“At the same time, we want parties to be responsive to public opinion. Wlezien and Soroka’s <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/degrees-of-democracy/CCFD6A2271BA1E5C7C9D02ADB3E4A409" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thermostatic model of representation</a> posits that parties should adapt their positioning in line with public opinion. Moreover, we want parties to be flexible enough to adjust their positions when political or economic circumstances change. This would require parties to have considerable leeway in their policy positioning.”</p>
<p>“My project ‘Credible’ or ‘Capricious’? The Reputational Cost of Party Policy Change funded by the Dutch Research Council addresses how citizens evaluate this trade-off between stable and credible positioning vs. flexibility.”</p>
<p>“The present study addresses this question from the perspective of gendered candidate evaluations. We know from research on gendered evaluations of politicians that female politicians are considered to be more sincere and honest. Political psychology work on repositioning has shown that when politicians change their positions people believe these politicians to be less sincere and honest.”</p>
<p>The participants were recruited from a Flemish panel of users of the “Election Compass,” a voting advice application. The final sample included 6,957 respondents, although it was initially intended to be 4,000, with quotas for age, gender, and education to ensure representativeness.</p>
<p>The experiment had a 2×2 factorial design, manipulating two variables: the gender of the candidate (male or female) and the frequency of their policy position changes (frequent or infrequent). Participants were shown a simulated news report about a candidate’s performance, including a photo and first name to indicate gender, and information about their tendency to change positions on key issues such as childcare, climate policy, and immigration policy.</p>
<p>The repositioning scenario indicated that the candidate frequently changed positions on three issues: childcare, climate policy, and immigration policy. These issues were selected to cover a range of stereotypically feminine and masculine domains. Participants rated the candidates on overall evaluation, perceived trustworthiness, honesty, decisiveness, competence, and voting intention.</p>
<p>The study revealed that candidates who frequently changed their policy positions were evaluated less positively than those who did so infrequently. This negative perception extended to trustworthiness and voting intentions. Candidates who frequently repositioned were viewed as less honest, decisive, and competent.</p>
<p>“My study – a vignette survey experiment conducted in Flanders, Belgium – found that politicians who frequently change their positions are trusted less and are punished electorally,” Meijers told PsyPost. “Flip flopping politicians are also seen as less honest and competent. The largest effect was for decisiveness: flipflopping politicians are perceived to be less decisive.”</p>
<p>Contrary to the initial hypothesis, the data showed no significant difference in the negative impact of repositioning based on the candidate’s gender. Both male and female candidates who frequently changed positions were evaluated similarly, suggesting that gender stereotypes did not significantly influence these evaluations in the context of Flanders.</p>
<p>“I was surprised to see the lack of a gendered effect,” Meijers said. “Especially in light of <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-017-9423-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previous evidence</a> of the effects of stereotype violations provided by Erin Cassese and Mirya Holman.”</p>
<p>“It is possible, however, that the negative effects of stereotype violations for female politicians were cancelled out by stereotype violations for male politicians. Male politicians are stereotypically seen as more decisive, and repositioning politicians were punished most for decisiveness. That said, I did not see gender differences in the evaluations of any of the traits.”</p>
<p>Meijers conducted several robustness checks, including post-stratification weights to address sample representativeness and control for attentiveness. These checks confirmed the initial findings, reinforcing that frequent repositioning carries a reputational cost, but this cost does not vary significantly between male and female candidates.</p>
<p>But the study includes some caveats to consider. For instance, it was conducted in Flanders, a region with stringent gender quotas and relatively low levels of gender stereotyping in politics. These contextual factors may limit the generalizability of the findings to other regions with different political dynamics and levels of gender stereotyping.</p>
<p>Future research could address these limitations by replicating the study in different political contexts, including regions with higher levels of gender stereotyping and different electoral systems. Further studies could also explore the impact of repositioning on specific policy issues perceived as stereotypically masculine or feminine, as well as investigate how explicit activation of gender stereotypes during campaigns influences voter evaluations.</p>
<p>“In the medium-term, there are still a couple of studies from the Dutch Science Council project in the pipeline,” Meijers said. “With Ruth Dassonneville (University of Montreal), I have conducted a study in which individual characteristics explain whether citizens believe repositioning to be legitimate in a representative democracy. With Mariken van der Velden (Free University Amsterdam), I have studied how voters respond to compromises made during coalition negotiations. Lastly, I have conducted a survey experiment in three countries to see how issue ownership and affective polarization affect citizens’ evaluations of position changes.”</p>
<p>“In the longer term, I want to continue this line of research, which studies how the political behaviour of political elites affect citizens’ trust in and commitment to democracy. For instance, I am currently working on a project to see how citizens perceive lying politicians and how this affects their views on democracy.”</p>
<p>The study, “<a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-experimental-political-science/article/way-she-moves-political-repositioning-and-gender-stereotypes/D4A8F1403538830E0070D9AB68A8DBA8">The Way She Moves: Political Repositioning and Gender Stereotypes</a>,” was published online on April 25, 2024.</p>
Calling a license by anything other than its name and stated purpose is something I’d dare to call mislabeling. If CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 decides to add “anti-commercial-AI” then and only then is it not mislabeling. That’s like me calling the US copyrights of the books sitting next to me “anti-bitfucker” licenses. They have nothing to do with you at this point in time so it is misleading for me to claim otherwise.
While you are correct that lemmy itself does not add a license and many instances do not add a license, it’s not as simple as “the user notifies [you] must abides by [their] licenses.” Jurisdiction matters. The Fediverse host content is pulled from matters. Other myriad factors matter. As you correctly pointed out, there is no precedence for any of this so as I pointed out unless you’re willing to go to court and can prove damages it is actually useless.
Calling a license by anything other than its name and stated purpose is something I’d dare to call mislabeling.
Fair point. The explanation itself has to be detached from the license to make it clear. So for example, if I state that my comment here is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, it only states the license, WHY I licensed it as such is the explanation and not the label for the license. So yeah, without context (the why), it is mislabeling.

But that is true for all content on the internet no? The difference is this time we are talking about a user-generated content without explicit license, now has an explicit license.
As you correctly pointed out, there is no precedence for any of this so as I pointed out unless you’re willing to go to court and can prove damages it is actually useless.
I wouldn’t call it useless tho. After all, we will only push the legal framework because people are doing something wack.
I imagine that leading up to the election, they don’t want to show a pattern of unsubstantiated false election claims, since that can be used as evidence if later there is a claim by a host or guest which names a company directly that can be used in a lawsuit.
If such a lawsuit were to happen, they can point to this instance and claim that they tried their hardest to stop the unsubstantiated claims (even cutting off the former president), and it’s not a systemic issue in the network.
