RE: @altsocialmedianet@sciences.social

Please check out my post about teaching with Mastodon on the Alternative Social Media Researchers Blog! I cover how I approached it incorporating a class instance in my ethics class as a way to discuss moderation, as well as takeaways and lessons learned for others who might be interested in trying something similar.

My new book is out with Bloomsbury: LiveJournal and Russian Disinformation: The Rise of Epistemic Sabotage. It uses LiveJournal as an early case of how platform affordances were weaponized and develops a framework (“epistemic sabotage”) for knowledge-system destabilization. If you want access without the academic price tag, please request it through your library. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/livejournal-and-russian-disinformation-9781666954555/ #disinformation #platformstudies #mediastudies #libraries #digitalhumanities #Bookstodon
