Ever notice how reposts are used differently vs. replies? In our ACM COMPASS 2023 paper we found that replies *reframed* the conversation of a post compared to quote retweets on Twitter. But retweets from *politically opposed* accounts twisted the OPs' words.

First day teaching Social Computing at Swarthmore College! We did a speculative design exercise — imagining what social technologies will be like in 10 yrs. Students also grappled w/ how we can better design the systems that we inhabit, why we have a responsibility to do so, & why it's so difficult.

I had a wonderful year as a postdoc at UW working with @katestarbird.bsky.social & so many amazing students. Now, I'm excited to start as an assistant professor of computer science at Swarthmore College where I'll direct the Collective Resilience Lab. Here's a few photos from my first week!

After the January 6th attack, an online community of sleuths formed on Twitter, called the Sedition Hunters. They helped the FBI+DOJ identify 100s of suspected rioters. Check out our #TheWebConf2023 paper where we take a closer look at the community! https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3543507.3583514
