Hello everyone!

I am Dyuti, a Communication PhD student in my third year. I study online communities, hate speech, and online toxicity.

If any of that, or my fascination with films/TV interests you, say hi!
Drawing on the works of Dr. Palashi Vaghela and Dr. Murali Shanmugavelan, I plan to investigate the barriers, both intentional and otherwise, in recognizing and moderating caste-based hate speech on Reddit.

I'm excited to discuss and develop this further at #NCA2025 with other #PolComm scholars!

Politeness does not act against fascists.
I am shocked—absolutely shocked—that establishment Dems are investing more energy in policing their left wing than offering any substantive opposition to the ongoing far-right coup.
House Democratic leadership is privately confronting members who spoke out and walked out during Trump's speech to Congress.

Roughly a dozen Democratic “disruptors” — including Reps. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) —…

Not being able to speak your language is a pain that immigrants know very well. The farther I move away from home, the harder my diction grows roots on my tongue.

All those pundits who said Trump was too lazy to be a dictator really underestimated the possibility of a lazy man delegating all the dictator shit to a megalomaniac who does a lot of cocaine

I have been listening to floor speeches made by US Congresspeople for a project and the amount of mental gymnastics R congressmen partake in to argue against any kind of gun control is honestly infuriating. How do people not see through this?

Thrilled to share that I will be at Denver, CO this summer for #ICA25 discussing a cross national comparison of resilience strategies used by women against gendered cyberhate.

One of the things that got me into a PhD program.
Spite's a great motivator.

I wrote twelve books that way.

If you're feeling pissed off at the fuckery afoot? Spite, yo. It'll get you far.

I remember I had posted something very happy about my then newborn niece who lives in a village and a well known IIT-D sociologist had quoted that tweet with something to do with female infanticides.
your mentions when you post about fun

This - "How to Think Like a Sociotechnical Researcher" from Ranjit Singh at @datasociety.bsky.social - is one of my favorite pieces of the year. Belongs on every syllabus. Not just every socio-technical-adjacent course but like, all of the courses. datasociety.net/points/how-t...

The widespread idea that posting screenshots of Trump’s relevant policy announcements is somehow “platforming” Trump is ridiculous.

The man is the President-elect.

Actual resistance requires looking at reality as it actually is, not engaging in denial and magical thinking.
Good advice to everyone on BlueSky
You can voice your opinion about Kash Patel without retweeting DT. PLEASE do not turn BlueSky into Twitter/X by continually retweeting him. Let’s not become a garbage dump for Truth Social. Just state your viewpoint without platforming him. Thanks.

There is truly no match for a sunny winter day stroll. Walked around the neighborhood with a friend, got a sandwich, and saw something that reminded me of framing theory.

I absolutely loved @reedvanschenck.bsky.social 's presentation at #AoIR2024 about collective harassment by trolls and the role of fringe platforms in hosting and facilitating collective harassment, blurring the divide between online and offline.

In the paper, @kejsitake.bsky.social and co-authors look at the harassment community Kiwi Farms.
Stoking the Flames: Understanding Escalation in an Online Harassment Community | Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction
Online harassment remains a prevalent problem for internet users. Its impact is made orders of magnitude worse when multiple harassers coordinate to conduct networked attacks. This paper presents an analysis of 231 threads in Kiwi Farms, a notorious ...

If you have to threaten students with deportation to make them attend your classes, maybe learn to teach better.

Also, plain disgusting to use deportation as a threatening tactic for international students.

Some of you should not be in positions of power and it shows.
