Well, I joined Mastodon. Obviously. If you found value in my research on disinformation, malign influence, and weaponized spaces on Twitter, then I hope you’ll follow me here, too! And check out weaponizedspaces.substack.com, where I’ll be writing more in-depth analyses of hostile social manipulation, health comms in adversarial information environments, institutional betrayal, and more.
@rvawonk Thank you for joining here!
@rvawonk Glad to see you. Not leaving Twitter, yet.
@rvawonk Hey Caroline. Just joined myself a few days ago.
@rvawonk Glad to see you here, but I'm definitely intrigued by you starting a substack account.
@rvawonk Just found you and followed. I've been following you on Twitter for years now. I find Mastodon difficult to figure out, but I'm here just in case Twitter goes full hate and lies or just dies completely.
@rvawonk really glad to see you here, Caroline! (I’m still figuring it out too)
@rvawonk Glad to see you here! I tried to follow you, but when I click on the follow button, it never changes to "following." Has anyone else told you they had this problem? Thought I'd ask in case you know the cause. If not, I'll check the help documentation. 🥺☺️
@rvawonk
Looks like the follow is working now! 💙
@rhscsmtms @rvawonk I have this same problem. When I select “Follow,” the button changes in a split second from “Following” back to “Follow.” Hmm.
