And if you stick around until the end (which you should), you can catch our session on "Strategic communication on social media" where I will present the @gesis.org BTW 25 candidate social media account collection done together with @msaeltzer.bsky.social @vigneshwaran-s.bsky.social and others.

Did you really have to use our community for this study? Couldn’t you have asked for consent? Excerpt: This approach was reviewed and approved by the University of Zürich’s Ethics Committee, which acknowledged that prior consent was impractical. What a Joke 😶

Before you all delete your accounts on X, you should consider deleting content but "donating" them to science. Many institutions, such as @gesis-dataservices.bsky.social might use them to scrape more effectively than via burner accounts.
