❓What happens when a platform refuses to let science do its job?

Our EU-funded project BIG-5, hosted at the @bsc-cns.bsky.social and @uab.cat, investigates how social media platforms shape environmental values.

🎮🌿 Exploring how videogames shape our relationship with nature. Can digital experiences foster real-world care for the environment—or do they distance us from it?

🧠 We’re reflecting on virtual nature and what it means to connect with it. What do you think?

💻 The BIG-5 team is currently engaged in the intricate process of manually identifying and coding relational nature values in social media content from TikTok, YouTube, and X. This work exposes us to unfiltered online material, some of which can be deeply distressing.
