I've been here for a while, but time for a re- #introduction:
I'm Scott or Vortex Egg, and I'm a cursed librarian. I work at the intersection of #technology, #informationscience, and #collectivebehavior on mitigating informational harms and violent extremism. I am currently pursuing an MLIS degree and am employed as the tech lead of a related nonprofit.
My work and research touch on:
**Digital extremism**
The influence of digital technologies, #misinformation, #propaganda, and #informationoperations on the emergence of #cults, #conspiracytheories, and #terrorism and violent #extremism.
**Cursed library science**
The management of harmful information, #contentmoderation and #TrustAndSafety, #digitalarchiving & #digitalpreservation, and #research methods for #cursedknowledge.
**Collective information science**
Theories of collective #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.
**Complexity science**
My work is informed by a qualitative and applied approach to #complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...
**Critical technology**
A critical and analytical perspective on #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.
