It's often claimed that developing a belief in one conspiracy theory will increase the chance that someone goes on to believe other conspiracy theories... perhaps leading them down a rabbit hole of conspiracist beliefs. But does that really happen?

The TL;DR? On average, increased belief in one conspiracy theory *does* seem to lead to increased belief in others. But the effects were very small!

We suggest that people don't fall into conspiracy theory rabbit holes, but some slide into rabbit warrens. Also, no evidence of an increase in beliefs over time, on average.

Out of the rabbit hole: new research shows people can change their minds about conspiracy theories

If you've made a feed with
@skyfeed.app
and want to filter out posts that spam lots of random hashtags, add the following regex filter: ^(?:[^#]*#){0,5}[^#]*$ It will filter out posts with more than 5 hashtags.

On this same screen, there's also an experimental option to show posts from your feeds in your timeline. (At least, I see it in a web browser.) So far I'm pretty pleased by using this for discovery!
