Earlier this month, @fabiennelind.bsky.social & @veronikaebner.bsky.social had insightful cross-fertilization sessions within @cidape.bsky.social about social media data on climate change, emotions, and inequalities 🌐
It’s great to see the project moving forward! 🙌
🌿Mid-term conference in #Tartu this month - We discussed ways to strengthen interdisciplinary research on #ClimateEmotions, innovative methodologies and staged an interactive #deliberative #democratic assembly on #ClimatePolitics led by @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social @futuresstudiouu.bsky.social

Great to see this out! With @bsky.charispapaevangelou.eu we analyse the DSA “Statement of Reasons” database, the EU-mandated archive of moderation decisions by online platforms. We examine what kind of platform observability the database affords & find large regional and cross-platform differences.

✨ New open-access paper ✨

We explored language similarity between Querdenken (Telegram) and German politicians (Twitter). In short: AfD’s communication most similar, but parts of FDP and CDU/CSU also find common ground through discrediting left-wing politics.
