J. Nathan Matias 🦣A few weeks ago, I wrote about a paper on online toxicity by @henryfarrell & Cosma Shalizi. Henry had the wonderful generosity to respond and point out where I misunderstood the article.
In this post, I respond with clarifications on the idea of toxicity and the use of models.
I also reflect on the value of having a thoughtful, considered disagreement in public online — something that seems to have largely disappeared from my circles.
