Matt here! For session #2, the highlight for me was hearing about the datafication of apps and content creator views from a labour standpoint. Finally, learning about the imagination of the Web makes me question how I might visualise the internet today? Time for lunch! #SMSociety #SocialMedia

Our article is out in the International Journal of Communication! It’s about TikTok creators in Naples and how their content production becomes part of everyday family life. Their stories have to do with digital labor, care, survival and creativity. ijoc.org/index.php/ij...

Spoke with @mashableofficial.bsky.social for this piece about why about why the sense of community social media platforms used to bring us feels shattered (this time not focusing just on the technofascist dystopia we're in, but on platform affordances). mashable.com/article/very...

The age of being 'very online' is over. Here's why.
We've lost our sense of online community.

People actually love surveillance capitalism, they'll share their GPS location and watch ads every 90 seconds rather than pay for services. Advertising is the magic sauce that makes everything run "for free," so much people cannot even conceive of any utopia without its latent subsidy.
Buying a ring camera and then having to pay a subscription to actually see out that motherfucker is insane.

WHAT GOOD ARE YOUR CAUSAL INFERENCE METHODS IF YOU LACK THEORY AND A WELL DEFINED CONCEPT NECESSARY TO OPERATIONALIZE WHAT YOU WANT TO MEASURE

first self prom stuff on the butterfly - I'm so happy my review of The Hipster Economy by Alessandro Gerosa is now out on Sociology! I really consider this book a gem of consumer studies and you can read it in open access for UCL Press.

I hope the deplatforming from twitter (x) taught us something about the co-creation of the socio-technical affordances. Here I feel like we have not only improvements from the top (power) but also from the down (the code for our behaviours). I don’t know how much it will last, though

I'm just a boy standing in front of a platform asking that all my digital labour doesn't create value that is sold to a proto-fascist billionaire and used to help another proto-fascist get elected.

I felt like a digital sociology feed was missing? I brushed up my coding skills and created one. It still needs some improvements but you can find it here - it should aggregate (by keywords) posts about digital sociology, surveillance, digital capitalism, digital labour... and so on. ⬇️

this deplatforming (wherever it brings) should teach us that no platform is forever. Also, I have quite a lovely memory of Twitter when I was in high school (exp 2011/13), I remember I posted from my blackberry and found very cool people I am still somehow in touch with.

Please humour me in my attempt to migrate from the other cursed platform only to keep posting as sporadically as ever.
