[LOGOS] Slack and two research questions

[Kevin M Esterling]

Hi Emiliano,

Thanks for the Slack channel!

In terms of replatforming, at least on Twitter/X we can't study that because X has cut off data access for researchers.  Unfortunately.  Maybe it can be done on other platforms...

Subject: [LOGOS] Slack and two research questions

Hi LOGOSers,

Three things:

1) If you are a Slack user, please consider joining the Cybersafety Research workspace via this invite link<https://join.slack.com/t/cybersafety-research/shared_invite/zt-2be3plt47-2twiQcIa8s71rxLUyA1Cng>. I will create a private channel there for #logos.

2) Has there been much work on "re-platforming"? I.e., what happened on Twitter/Reddit when a bunch of previously deplatformed high-profile users were reinstated? (And on Reddit for certain subreddits)

3) I was reading this article on the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/29/donald-trump-americans-us-culture-republican. Basically, it posits that "US culture is an incubator of extrinsic values, and nobody embodies them like Trump"
Is there any work done looking at this on Trump-supporting web communities/accounts?

Cheers,
