#Lurking, or passive observation, is a valuable form of #SocialMedia participation.

The current changes at #Twitter / X and elsewhere reinforce #privilege, as not everyone can afford a subscription. Moreover, restrictions on reading and the unavailability of #free tools have further limited lurking.

The future of #academic social media relies on platforms that prioritize and facilitate lurking as a central part of the #onlineCommunity.

Teen Vogue - Archive of Our Own Survived a Cyberattack, But Will It Survive Congress?

"A day later, AO3 [Archive of Our Own] was back online, but concerns have lingered: What would happen if fan communities, especially queer fandoms that are lifelines for young LGBTQ+ people, ceased to exist? And it turns out, one of the most worrisome threats facing sites like AO3 isn’t a small outfit of cyberattackers, it’s the United States government."

@rolle Just saw people coming to Mastodon with thousands of followers from other social platforms. They sign up, make a couple of posts like 'Hey, I'm here now!' and hours later, they're surprised they don't instantly have thousands of followers again. Then they say 'no, it doesn't work' and go back to their old social media. Engagement doesn't happen overnight, especially when there are no algorithms guiding others' choices. #Mastodon #SocialMediaEngagement #Algorithms #OnlineCommunity
