I know there are constantly new folks joining and moving around, so here's another shout out for colleagues to help us find each other. My tips for a better Fedi experience (which of course echo many other tips posts):

Follow hashtags if you're seeking posts on these topics, and maybe also follow folks who post about them.

Use hashtags--I'm seeing a ton of posts, especially from #academics, with none.

Tag posts to groups to get automatically boosted to their members.

Boost posts to engage with their authors and readers.

Fill out your profile as much as you can.

Save a pinned Introduction post so folks can get more about you than just your profile.

Tho I'd not heard of Tate personally, here's a pretty good read on online radicalization of an adolescent boy: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/08/technology/youtube-radical.html

And a scholarly piece on "networked #misogyny" by Bratich and Banet-Weiser ("From Pick-Up Artists to Incels: Con(fidence) Games, Networked Misogyny, and the Failure of Neoliberalism"): https://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/13216 #OpenAccess!
