Most political scientists aren't on here, but most who use Twitter are on here as well. They post "way to go" on Twitter and then come here to trash people.
Oh, cool. We're in the made-up statistics part of the thread. A PSR classic!
True, there are no statistics on this. I may be wrong. This is based on anecdotal evidence from experiences with people I know (caught using PSR or overlap between comments in private settings with posts), as well as the amount of Twitter content that is on here. The people I have caught on PSR at conferences or in the office are all big Twitter users. Everard, I'm assuming you are also on Twitter and visit this site regularly.There is a flip side to this. I, for example, only have like 3 twitter posts in the last 5 years because I'm on the market and it seems like being unknown is less of a liability than saying something on twitter that gets passed around for the wrong reason.
Good point, but people who are always on their phones bouncing around from Twitter to Instagram to Tiktok are probably more likely to be checking in here. I guess this is true whether they post or don't. But the people posting publicly seem to want to let off some steam here, perhaps more so than others.
I agree though, this site is useless.
