I find that I don’t post much here because I haven’t quite figured it out.
I’ve figured out that just posting as I did on Twitter doesn’t respect the hard work of the people who made this space to be better. And they’ve made me realize just how bad (dehumanizing, casually toxic) Twitter has gotten since I joined. I don’t really want to go back.
But I don’t know how to go forward. Who to connect to, what to talk about.
I’m working on it. Just didn’t want y’all to think I’d forgotten you.
Just a week or two in and I fking love this place so much. It's like stumbling out of the noise and into the kitchen at a party, and finding your people right there all the time.
You miss the friends you left behind in the shouty room where most who talk to you are looking over your shoulder to see if there's anyone more important to latch onto, but you hope your friends will soon find the kitchen, too.
#Introduction
I am a political scientist+ 💻ional social👨🔬 at the U of Pittsburgh. I use 🤖learning+ Bayesian modeling to understand how institutions x technology shape info flows, conflict, human rights, and democracy. My 🏡 is @ the intersection of the analog and the digital. I direct the Pitt Disinformation Lab:
https://www.cyber.pitt.edu/disinformation
and co-founded our CSS major: https://www.sci.pitt.edu/academics/undergraduate-majors/computational-social-science
I like to 📝 in <🧩😕🤨/🧩>
Disinformation threatens our health, undercuts our security, and undermines our democracy. Yet, despite high-profile attention to these cascading problems, effective counter-measures remain elusive. The Pitt Disinformation Lab at the Institute for Cyber Law, Policy, and Security goes beyond passive detection and reporting to create a new, community-centered system for warning, understanding, and response to malign influence. PDL connects and empowers communities to rearrange the pixels of disinformation campaigns into tools for future resilience.

The vibe on #Twitter: "I am not paying Elon Musk a penny and will leave if it becomes subscription only."
The vibe on #Mastodon: "I will chip in to help the volunteers running the servers."
It feels more like a co-op than being part of a billionaire's evil plan. Which is nice.

Where are the scholars studying violence? Can we adopt this group @violence as a place to share and discuss our work?

Tagging @politicalscience scholars, but it would be great to engage with people working across disciplines, approaches, contexts...
One of the most creative uses I’ve ever seen for a #Raspberry_Pi, and that’s saying something.
