Three searches with similar volume. Do you think this reveals anything about how people use ChatGPT?

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
Is the Mastodon API working well for #ComputationalSocialScience? I'm watching my friends slowly sort themselves into different instances and thinking that there are about a dozen natural experiments being run here!

My takeaways:

1) I'm setting up multiple hashtag feeds for different interests
2) I made an alt account on a large-ish instance relatively central to my personal interests, just for hashtag-based feeds.
3) The Fediverse isn't trying to overwhelm you with content you didn't ask for.

What I've learned while setting up #feeds:

> Slow Mode & #AdvancedWebInterface are great
> AWI lets you pin anything – including #hashtag searches
> You can add extra terms to a pinned search (OR, AND, and NOT ops, up to 4 terms each)
> Searches become topic-focused feeds
> Search can only search your Federated #feed or local feed (i.e. people on your instance and those they follow)
> You'll miss A LOT if you're not on a big instance w/ a #firehose Federated Feed

Hello world! Here's my #introduction

I’m an #NLP #PhD student at #CMU and a Student Researcher at #Google, interested in #AI for {Language, Knowledge, Culture, Society}

Currently I work on #NLProc with applications to #ComputationalSocialScience, #ScienceOfScience, #QuestionAnswering, & #ScholarlyNLP.

I'm often inspired by #libraries, #wikis, #memex, etc -- long term I'd like to study & build interactive #KnowledgeAugmentation that supports discovery, agency, access, community, and trust.

Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.
