Vandaag was ik bij een presentatie van Luigia Tricane, georganiseerd door @radboudpol.bsky.social. Over hoe minderheidsgroeperingen een uitvlucht zoeken op sociale media buiten de traditionele netwerken. Ik schreef erover, en over wat er volgens mij nog meer nodig is: hear-me.social/@joepbc/1166...

Joep Bos-Coenraad (macroblog) (@joepbc@hear-me.social)
Attached: 1 image Vanmiddag was ik te gast bij een presentatie van Luigia Tricase (@lulubrx@mastodon.bida.im), een promovenda aan de universiteit van Bologna en de Radboud Universiteit. Ze vertelde er over haar onderzoek naar hoe minderheidsgroepen, voor wie 'traditionele sociale media' niet meer volstaan, en die zichzelf organiseren via alternatieve sociale media, in het bijzonder Mastodon. Het was een erg interessante presentatie. Door gebruik te maken van Mastodon kunnen deze groepen zich organiseren op hun eigen servers. Vanaf deze servers communiceren met elkaar en met gebruikers van andere Mastodon servers, maar ze behouden ook de mogelijkheid om de deur dicht te zetten naar servers waar niet wordt opgetreden tegen racisme, transfobie en andere vormen van digitale bedreigingen. Haar presentatie gaf ook aanleiding om met haar te spreken over hoe het transparant online uitwisselen van kennis en inzichten kunnen redden. Want op dit moment worden we gemanipuleerd door netwerken van Meta, X, TikTok en zelfs waar ik dit bericht schrijf: wie bepaalt welke berichten extra aandacht krijgen? Haat en schockering verkoopt meer reclames dan nuance. Het is *de* drijvende kracht die de maatschappij in de armen van de manosphere drijft. Wie bepaalt over welke onderwerpen we niet mogen schrijven? En in sommige gevallen zelfs welke politieke stromingen extra aandacht verdienen? Het is toch te gek voor woorden dat we berichten moeten afsluiten met "klik op de link in de comments" omdat je bericht het anders te slecht doet in de algoritmen? Daarbij zijn de traditionele platforms ook niet toegankelijk. Ze verstoppen berichten achter loginwalls en paywalls, en dringen gebruikers apps op die vol spyware zitten. We kwamen tot de conclusie dat het belangrijk is dat belangrijke actoren nodig zijn. Die een brede migratie naar transparante, onafhankelijke sociale media, waar wél normale omgangsnormen gelden, kunnen bevorderen. Dit soort actoren zijn wetenschappers, politici, journalisten en als het even kan beroemdheden met een moreel compas. Ze zijn allemaal te vinden op Mastodon, maar nog niet genoeg om op te kunnen boksen tegen het netwerkeffect en de verslavende algoritmen die mensen richting Instagram, TikTok en X trekken. Volgens Luigia Tricase zou het helpen als grote organisaties, zoals de Europese Unie, maar ook overheden en universiteiten, open netwerken openlijk steunen in woord en daad. Een advies dat ik van harte onderschrijf. Dank aan de organisatie van politicologie voor het organiseren, en in het bijzonder Gaard Kets voor het persoonlijk attenderen op deze presentatie vol waardevolle inzichten.

The fourth article in Global Society 39(4) is "Repression and Alliance Formation: A Gender(ed) Approach to Interethnic Cooperation During Conflict" by Shelli Israelsen (@radboudpol.bsky.social). Be sure to give it a read! #Repression #Gender #OpenAccess www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
This article explores alliance behaviour among female insurgents. I argue that interethnic cooperation among women affiliated with different ethnic armed groups is affected by whether women share a commitment to gender egalitarianism and the level of repression they face from their male co-ethnics. Building on previous research, I create a typology of women’s alliance behaviour that explains variation in the level of cooperation and the type of alliance women form. I disaggregate gender egalitarianism along three dimensions – shared victimhood, promotion of gender equality and linkages to civil society – to show how women overcome mistrust to create social bonds. Using the case of the Karen Women’s Organisation (KWO), I demonstrate that even in the face of repression, once these bonds are created, they are unlikely to break down. This study adds to research highlighting the role of repression in driving wartime alliances.

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n
Abstract: Under the banner of progress, products have been uncritically adopted or
even imposed on users — in past centuries with tobacco and combustion engines, and in
the 21st with social media. For these collective blunders, we now regret our involvement or
apathy as scientists, and society struggles to put the genie back in the bottle. Currently, we
are similarly entangled with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. For example, software updates are rolled out seamlessly and non-consensually, Microsoft Office is bundled with chatbots, and we, our students, and our employers have had no say, as it is not
considered a valid position to reject AI technologies in our teaching and research. This
is why in June 2025, we co-authored an Open Letter calling on our employers to reverse
and rethink their stance on uncritically adopting AI technologies. In this position piece,
we expound on why universities must take their role seriously toa) counter the technology
industry’s marketing, hype, and harm; and to b) safeguard higher education, critical
thinking, expertise, academic freedom, and scientific integrity. We include pointers to
relevant work to further inform our colleagues.Figure 1. A cartoon set theoretic view on various terms (see Table 1) used when discussing the superset AI
(black outline, hatched background): LLMs are in orange; ANNs are in magenta; generative models are
in blue; and finally, chatbots are in green. Where these intersect, the colours reflect that, e.g. generative adversarial network (GAN) and Boltzmann machine (BM) models are in the purple subset because they are
both generative and ANNs. In the case of proprietary closed source models, e.g. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and
Apple’s Siri, we cannot verify their implementation and so academics can only make educated guesses (cf.
Dingemanse 2025). Undefined terms used above: BERT (Devlin et al. 2019); AlexNet (Krizhevsky et al.
2017); A.L.I.C.E. (Wallace 2009); ELIZA (Weizenbaum 1966); Jabberwacky (Twist 2003); linear discriminant analysis (LDA); quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA).Table 1. Below some of the typical terminological disarray is untangled. Importantly, none of these terms
are orthogonal nor do they exclusively pick out the types of products we may wish to critique or proscribe.Protecting the Ecosystem of Human Knowledge: Five Principles
