Hi Everyone,

I am a misinformation researcher interested in conspiracy thinking and far-right sensemaking.

Risk sociologist by trade, I am currently working on several projects to try and better understand how we use social media as a society.

I will be attending #AoIR next week. So if you are an internet researcher, come bend my ear.

I'll be switching servers tomorrow for the first time. Let's see how it goes. Not as tech-savvy as the rest of y'all but I understand the basics ๐Ÿ˜…
Hey folks!
It seems that with the influx there's something going on with the crossposter. I believe it might have hit some daily limits with Twitter. I'm not close to my computer so I can't really check it, but do expect longer times to crosspost!

Just a quick reminder: It's alright to just jump on here and explore. There's no "natural urge" to be on any social media network, ultimately --if anything, anxiety to be "on" a social media is a legacy of our addiction to the mainstream platforms. I get people feel outraged about the Elon Musk takeover, but "fleeing" from a platform is a bit too much, haha. I'm still on TW, and I'm just here exploring and relaxing for once. Would I leave TW? Maybe. I don't need all the answers today.
I remember when quoting actually took effort to put together on a post. It makes you think twice about doing it, and you really have to think it's worth doing it. So yes, I agree with not automating quoting anymore: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/99662106175542726

Another #MastodonTip for people of the #TwitterMigration (other than using camel case for hashtags) is that Mastodon instances are not run by corporations with thousands of employees. Usually it is just a handful of volunteers and an instance owner or two.

A huge influx of users, like this, all at once is a lot to handle. Stuff may break or slow down for a bit.

It'll be okay. Things will level out & it will all work again. The same thing happened in back in April.

Be calm. Carry on.

Good resource to find #Twitter users with Mastodon accounts in the #fediverse ๐Ÿค“
