@nik @ubiquity75 or anybody else, does #AoIR have a position on the Platform Accoutability and Transparency Act? https://knightcolumbia.org/content/knight-institute-welcomes-formal-introduction-of-platform-transparency-and-accountability-act

Absolutely agree, and it's lovely to see all the #AoIR folks on here.

I also massively appreciate @hello and the other folks at https://hcommons.org , who run the https://hcommons.social instance as well!

The most important social media question for academics right now is: how are we going to create networking opportunities for junior scholars as Twitter declines?

That's why I'm so impressed with #AoIR , the Association of Internet Researchers, who are offering scholars a Mastodon account as part of membership at https://aoir.social/about

I’m so happy that my paper on police bots on Insta got accepted #AoIR2023 #AoIR see you in Philly! 🥳

Say, I won the #AoIR election and will be its vice-president starting in October, and will assume the presidency in 2025. I’m thrilled and honored!

Congrats to the new #AoIR Executive! Thanks for stepping up to lead our tribe!

I voted! #AoIR

Voting is now open for #AoIR executive leadership positions. I am running for vice-president, which leads to presidency of the org after a period of apprenticeship. I hope colleagues and friends will support me in that effort. Thanks so much. #aoirelections #AoIR

UK based #AoIR members and friends - does anyone know if there has been an attempt to get AoIR on this list of officially recognised professional organisations/learned societies in the UK? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/professional-bodies-approved-for-tax-relief-list-3/approved-professional-organisations-and-learned-societies

Internet research community: please hit me up with your favorite articles (by you or other people) that do a great job of demonstrating different types of qualitative research online.*

* Purposely ambiguous: this could be research conducted online, or research about something online, or something else I’ve not yet thought of. I’m trying to create a small library of exemplars for my seniors who are dipping their toes into #research #methods for the first time. #AoIR

I just clicked a hashtag to find out what it was and, twenty posts deep, no explanation. #AoIR is the Association of Internet Researchers. You're welcome.

Announcement time! I am running for the vice-presidency of the Association of Internet Researchers (#aoir). This position leads to the presidency after two years in the vp role. Please support me in this run, friends and members!

Just a heads up that, now that the #AoIR instance aoir.social exists, I'm gonna be migrating there again soon - I'm a mod there so better give it my full attention, and maintaining split identities is too much hard work. Thank you so so so much to @ash (& @phocks) for giving me a home in the aftermath of Escape from Mastodon Dot LOL! This is a good place.

Also I already have an account on aus.social which seems fine - but felt a bit like a generic landing place for #auspol Twitter when I first looked at it. And not sure where the project to create an #AoIR instance is up to (but have volunteered to help!)

#AoIR2023 #AoIR Hello, everyone! Just getting to know AoIR recently, and very excited to hear that there is a potential instance coming up. Can someone advise me where to follow the progress? Or if it’s already established?

@robertwgehl @aramsinn @jeanburgess @hmtk look forward to hearing more about #AoIR instance!

With everything else going on in my life, I'm not engaged here as much as I'd like to be, but I'm finding it interesting to see whom I am finding: Progressive political friends from the early days of Twitter #DFA Internet researchers #AOIR Friends from seminary and beyond #Episcopal More later...

@petamitchell @pwik there may soon be an #AoIR instance as well

Australian #academics - What is the ARC status of an #AoIR paper? Journal article, citing the SPIR page? I had been listing as conference papers but it looks like that's underselling them. What do you do?
