Dr. Amy, Psy.D.Good evening, Twitter was a 16 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.
Nisa (she/her) 
@dramypsyd look forward to the white paper ::blobcatreading:
Hope 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏴 SNP@nisadani @dramypsyd so Musk was an artificial creation to introduce a chaos element to the experiment…and as anticipated the birds all flocked away…very clever…makes sense now!
Yaoi Box Balloon@TheMorrigan @nisadani @dramypsyd Basically all of South Africa was the background for the chaos element. And that started in the 1700s.
Jesse@dramypsyd did we learn anything about the inflated self importance of specific billionaires?
Cusick@jstroik @dramypsyd Relatedly, did we learn... anything?
@cusick @dramypsyd I guess we learned.. ... not to do it again?
Dr Suzy J Styles@jstroik @cusick @dramypsyd Ah! Yet another flagship study leading to a conclusion about the importance of ethical oversight - or lack thereof - in research design and implementation. You can find it in the section called… (checks notes) unexpected outcomes? 🤷🏻♀️
PeoriaBummer@cusick @jstroik @dramypsyd Every journal they submitted their findings to objected on ethical grounds. No, not due to the shady methodology or lack of IRB approval. The results were a Lovecraftian cosmic horror that drove readers to absolute despair.
@PeoriaBummer @cusick @dramypsyd
🤣
That's how Twitter makes people feel
Now I wish I could quote tweet. But not to dunk, instead because I love this comment and want to add context to my follower in case they open mastodon
WeiserAlterElf 🎃@cusick @jstroik @dramypsyd yes, we learned that the one main question about life, universe and everything is...
@dramypsyd Now you got me tempted to do a little calculation...
@dramypsyd Just did some calc, let me illustrate the result like this:
If we put a twitter-price charge of blahaj plushies side by side, they'd cover an area of about 440 square kilometres.
So not that much the dimension of a pool, but think of an epic plushy landslide suitable to bury most of silicon valley. Sounds favourable to me.

@ceha I would love to be in the middle of that mountain, it sounds like sensory paradise!
@dramypsyd Anyway I have to admit a tiny midnight calc flaw: the 2.2bn blahaj could actually cover an area of _only_ 220 square km... just in case you plan some epic purchase now...
Pete@cusick @jstroik @dramypsyd I think we already knew what the great Bard sang:
It’s hard to love
There’s so much to hate
It’s hard to love
There’s so much to hate
Calista@jstroik @dramypsyd We learned they tend to try and flex with money to buy their dough boy selves into the cool kids club, and tend to blame everyone else for their screw ups. A toxic mix of hypocrisy, arrogance, and poor listening skills. Gosh it's hard not to use bad words sometimes.
elf™@dramypsyd Did I pass?
Do we get ribs?
@elf I think we all deserve ribs
@dramypsyd I need 71 ribs pls, and fries...and napkins...cuz i get messy.
Ima growing elf~
Steve Portigal@dramypsyd where is my honorarium being sent?
Jesse VincentI have a bone to pick with the IRB
Jacki Liddle@dramypsyd could I please get a 1 page lay language summary of the findings?
Chriz@dramypsyd Lol! Looking forward to the scholarly report.
Evan Urquhart 🏳️⚧️@dramypsyd so long and thanks for all the fish
Chad Briggs@e_urq @dramypsyd I suppose Vogons are an apt metaphor for Elmo
Vincent@dramypsyd I would love to see the IRB submission for that 😂
Dr. Jessica Wranosky, Ph.D.@dramypsyd 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Right?!?
Tiffany, Sigh-D@dramypsyd @APBBlue oh hey you’re here! 👋
@drtifftaft @APBBlue hey! Yup just joined! I have a feeling twitter won’t be waiting for me in December
@dramypsyd @APBBlue agreed. I'm trying to find everyone I can who I'm connected to on the bird app. I'm not on IG because Mark Zuckerberg is satan. So if you see something about where the cool kids from #TherapistTwitter are landing please let me know
@drtifftaft @APBBlue will do! Same and with Neurodivergent Twitter as well
@dramypsyd @APBBlue I should say the cool kids are those who eat during session while wearing cardigans and act like human beings on social media. But you know that
@drtifftaft @APBBlue Omg have you watched Stutz yet? There’s a part where the therapist takes his medication in the session and I was like some people are gonna get sooooooo mad 🤣
@dramypsyd @APBBlue I haven't but now I will. That's perfect.
@drtifftaft @APBBlue I recorded commentary as I watched, I tried not to yell with excitement lol
@dramypsyd @APBBlue a patient brought me delicious homemade guacamole recently and I totally ate it at the start of session. It'd be offensive to let it turn brown.
Alexander Luckmann@dramypsyd the Harvard twitter experiment
Crouton&Friends🏳️🌈@dramypsyd sounds about right
eagerpebble@dramypsyd
At least we now know which IRB to blame.

RiskFromHome@dramypsyd yeah I'm going to need to have a chat with your IRB....
Ángela Stella Matutina@dramypsyd Considering the scale of the study, let's hope they discover the equations of human behavior and invent psychohistory at the very least.
Caleb Crain@dramypsyd This is very "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Chris Rowan@dramypsyd I *knew* I should have read the terms and conditions more carefully!
Matthew J.@dramypsyd Did...did we pass?
Jeffry Crews@dramypsyd that IRB review had to be lit!
