Very excited to see how our research with emerging adults unfolds :) Congratulations team @yixinzouu and @_mainack. Special shoutout to @yixinzouu for being such a wonderful mentor.
Yixin Zou@yixinzouu

So excited to embark on this journey with @_mainack! Let’s make short video platforms a safer space for emerging adults. Many thanks also go to @Smirity, who’s been leading the research that motivates this proposal and who co-wrote the proposal with us!

New CSCW paper, new content moderation paradigm. Post Guidance lets moderators prevent rule-breaking by triggering interventions as users write posts! We implemented PG on Reddit and tested it in a massive field experiment (n=97k). It became a feature! arxiv.org/abs/2411.16814
