Mandate data sharing. Academics must have access to social media data, and it’s time for regulators to step in. Without transparency, platforms that shape elections, influence disaster responses, and impact careers remain unaccountable. This is essential now! #CSCW2024
If you're researching social platforms and attending #CSCW2024 in Costa Rica next week, I highly encourage you to attend our SIG on "Community-Driven Models for Supporting Research on Social Platforms" (Wed: 9-10:30 AM, Cartago Room).

📢 Excited to share our latest paper "Fediverse Migrations: A Study of User Account Portability on Mastodon". We explore the patterns of instance switching on #Mastodon, a leading decentralized microblogging social network. 🧵

Björn Scheuermann has co-authored a preprint with study on #Bluesky, a decentralised & user-driven alternative to X. Could Bluesky's model with custom feeds & community moderation set new standards? Presented soon @ACM_IMC_2024. @Gareth_Tyson @Ignactro

As X is excelling at content moderation, a reminder that this is an unsolved problem: from x to bsky or 🐘. Here we analyse moderation in IPFS. Takeaway: the challenges are rooted in the underlying logical infrastructure 👇
@IPFS is the largest decentralized file storage. In our recent @USENIXSecurity paper, we answer questions about content uploaded by users:
1) What kinds of “problematic” content is uploaded to @IPFS?
2) How is this content moderated?
3) How effective moderation is?

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵
