I quit Twitter (personal account) last week to protest a horrible political situation. I'm sitting in a panel with social media experts which has prompted me to think about the extent to which I need to find an alternative. I made this account years ago and it's been more or less dormant since then. But is it a reasonable alternative? Jury's still out. Will be evaluating how it goes being a little more here this week, but would love smarter/more informed folks' input….
Arrived at #cscw2024 this morning. Always good to see friendly, familiar faces. Already excited to begin wrapping my head around new research ideas. Also interested to note that this is also the context where I always seem to be prompted to reflect on my social media presence (generally poor) and values (which platform(s) to use? are they the "right" ones to maintain important professional and public safety connections while not being subject to the whims of megalomaniacal billionaires?)
