@futurebird Yep. One of the reasons I’ll never run a #Mastodon instance - although I’d love to. #Moderation is hard. From what admins say & write here, it is very hard..

Of course other reasons exist, such as #EU privacy laws (#GDPR / RODO), US copyright laws and.. lack of enough money for the physical part of running an instance, that is: hosting, bandwidth, etc. These’re expensive too!

I invite You to take a look at other videos from #Informed22 , that they released on #Vimeo 💙

"The online sphere and social media have allowed for the amplification and reach of conspiracy-oriented content in a way that we've never seen before," says @samuelwoolley@twitter.com about why research on online conspiracy is so important at

Thought I’d go ahead and drop a link to this piece I wrote for Knight last year on why folks who are concerned about socio-technical systems, platforms, and social media should put games on their radar: https://knightfoundation.org/games-matter/ #Informed22

#informed22 Tim Wu on how market concentration affects livelihoods: If your job depends on one single employer... Think about a nurse in a small town where hospitals consolidate. What are they're going to do? You could define lack of freedom as having no answer to that question.

RT @JCPerrino@twitter.com

For those at #Informed22, here is the latest from @MChrisRiley@twitter.com and Susan Ness of @APPCPenn@twitter.com on the idea of building universal technical protocols that are the backbone of smart, global tech policy like researcher access to data.

Last panel of #informed22 with @pluralistic & HW's Tim Wu.
Tim Wu: What democratic institutions don't deliver, people become cinical. This is the real danger. People start wondering who is going to be the strong man coming fix this for us. (Paraphrasing).

Newsrooms must move away from the “golden rolodex” or going to the same sources or 1 activist that’s amplified on Twitter instead of elevating local, trusted messagers who can hold the credibility with audiences that legacy media has not earned— via @danikbrown@twitter.com #informed22

And the ghost of @marshallmcluhan@twitter.com on how social media create a new level of reflexivity making all of this essential to manage better and with technical tools that we shape, as they shape us (as #Informed22 seeks) is summoned here:

Another raises the issue if the challenges of studying multiple spaces and raises it as something that has to be tackled and again I’m “yes and” in that many of us have been doing this for decades 😉 #Informed22

I appreciate one of the speakers calling for social scientists to start paying attention to platforms other than Twitter but it’s critical to note there are folks already doing this and it would have been a nice gesture to nod to them. #Informed22

Mastodon is federated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software)

The World Wide Web & the Internet is distributed & decentralized, though switches & DNS are points of control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet

"Web 3" is a buzzword, like "Web 2.0," & the crash of crypto should be a warning.
