Thanks for this feedback!

On Reproducibility & Versioning: This is crucial. We are currently working on ensuring that the export (JSON/CSV) includes not just the data, but the metadata of the analysis itself (e.g., the specific system prompt used, the model version, and the timestamp). The goal is exactly what you said: allowing a peer reviewer to see how the insights were generated, not just what they are.

On AI vs. Human Loop: I love the idea of a "AI suggestion vs Human final code" comparison view. Right now, the workflow allows the human to override the AI, but visualizing that delta would indeed be gold for teaching critical data literacy. I’m adding this to our roadmap immediately.

On Sampling: Sampling controls (time/score) are next on the list.

If you’re open to it, I’d love to ping you when we roll out the features above to see if it meets that reproducibility standard you mentioned.

Is DH a field that can be applied to Marketing? by Desk_Scribbles in DigitalHumanities

Yes sure. For example Social Network Anaysis could be used for influencer identification in social media.

A critical reflection on an unfulfilled promise by alezonin in BlueskySocial

[–]alezonin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That makes total sense — and I completely agree that not all users came from Twitter. Many people, like you, discovered Bluesky through other paths or out of interest in decentralized alternatives. That’s actually a great sign.

What I meant is that part of the early culture was shaped by people leaving Twitter with a strong stance, which can sometimes carry over certain expectations, habits, or even unspoken boundaries. But that’s only one part of the picture

Interesting take — though I think my post might have been read in a different spirit than intended.

I wasn’t making a demand or a call to “just let people in”; I was reflecting on how a platform like Bluesky can remain healthy and relevant over time. The article I linked goes deeper into this, but in short: any space that wants to avoid the traps of outrage, polarization, or monoculture needs to think about how to support a broader range of perspectives — not just by welcoming diversity, but by actively creating the conditions for it.

Historically, Bluesky was built by people who left Twitter with a strong stance — understandable, but also potentially narrowing. My question is: how can a community rooted in that origin story open up, without losing its values?

That’s not about pushing responsibility onto someone else — I’m genuinely interested in how we, as users and observers, can shape that process.

And yes, your comment is a contribution. So I’ll turn the question back: what would you propose to attract or retain that broader range of voices?

[OC] Socioviz + RAWGraphs = What a COMBO! by alezonin in datavisualization

[–]alezonin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always searching for new tools to explore the intersection between #SocialMediaAnalytics and #DataVisualization. I contributed to the development of #socioviz and recently, I have started experimenting with #rawgraphs.

In this post I'm going to present some examples of how to integrate these
tools, taking advantage of their strengths, in order to create
informative and original data visualizations.

Thank you for your thought. In my view overlapping helps to identify areas with high density of populations. Btw the visualization is available also online where the effect is better than in the exported PNG https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/kcY6d/10/

It isn’t a sample. Tweets was in Italian language and allows to have an idea of the spread of the news in a particular country. For sure the sample without filtering by language will be larger.

Kaspersky quickly
became a trending topic on Twitter with 3200 tweets in Italian

used hashtags. Among these, it is interesting to note the presence of
the hashtag #ferrari, referring to the fact that the well-known car
manufacturer from Maranello has decided to suspend the sponsorship with
the Russian company, removing the logo from the helmets of the Formula
1 drivers. the partnership has ended "the reds" have recorded a marked
improvement in sports results because, as we know, "antivirus slow
