I also really like this study on Facebook Reactions to Political Party Posts in 79 Democracies: https://t.co/iKBbnSf4ZK This provides useful benchmarks for comparison and could make a great reference point for my later publications on social media, emotions and populism

Browsing through the exiting new journal JQD:DM. Many interesting studies in 1st volume, such as this one, which re-confirms, that sharing fake news occurs more frequently in the oldest age groups rather than younger: https://t.co/664hLdCmnw

Facebook says its analytics tool Crowdtangle, built to show what’s popular on Facebook, is not so great at showing what’s popular on Facebook https://t.co/0IK0b0Cb3e

[Sander A. Schwartz @54ndr]

@fabiogiglietto But you might be able to study reach/engagement relations through FORT-data access, or? (even if case differs)

As a publisher (or platform) it’s not a good sign that you are having to explain your attention data with caveats and extra charts - and tell people effectively ‘you are not looking at what you think you are looking at’ https://t.co/gp0Yev6HPC

[Sander A. Schwartz @54ndr]

@katemiltner Of course! This is what I wanted all along: a-lalalalalong, a-lalalalalong-long-li-long-long-long...

[Fabio Giglietto @fabiogiglietto]

during the March lock-down, the membership and interactions of pages/groups known for spreading conspiracy theories multiplied and many new venues has been created. Today, we experiencing the effect of this with widespread protests & covid skepticism. https://t.co/k2W3UDZ7XY

[Sander A. Schwartz @54ndr]

@katemiltner Now you need to make that album happen! Goes without saying that this album should include a cover of Total Eclipse of the Heart...

[Sander A. Schwartz @54ndr]

@fabiogiglietto @crowdtangle This looks great! I was wondering whether we should provide some kind of methods explanation for these dashboards, since the interface does not provide the context (selection criteria, lists, search words etc.). Not sure how or what but perhaps a text document of sorts?

There are the details. And there is this: Mark Zuckerberg, alone, gets to set key rules—with significant consequences—for one of the most important elections in recent history. That should not be lost in the dust of who these changes will hurt or benefit. https://t.co/QzLtcvZA6f
