It represents the first detailed study of how a social platform transitions from being invitation-only to open to the public, with a focus on user activities and the evolution of the platform.
I am pleased to announce that our work “A longitudinal analysis of misinformation, polarization, and toxicity on Bluesky after its public launch” has been accepted at #OSNEM.
The paper is an extension of our previous work presented at #ASONAM.

If you're at #ic2s2 and want to talk about alternative social media platforms and mass migration, let's meet me in front of my poster!
Poster 9: "On Bluesky mass migration" where we analyzed the waves of new users on the platform based on specific events, classifying them according to their behavior
It was a pleasure to present our research at @icwsm.bsky.social in Copenhagen with many friends and colleagues!

That's pretty accurate indeed! 😂
The Detox Workshop at @icwsm.bsky.social has wrapped up. Thanks to our keynote @maxfalken.bsky.social , all our speakers, my co-organisers, and everyone who joined the event! 🫖
We don’t have all the solutions yet, but it’s clear that tackling platform harms requires new methods and data sources!
USA vaccine policy changes
'Within a few hours of RFK Jr being sworn in as Mr Trump’s health secretary, Trump ordered an end to funding for schools and colleges that require COVID vaccines. What will these changes mean for infection prevention?'

It was a pleasure to be able to present my research "Biases in Toxicity Detection Models".

I'm glad to have been able to join the 1st Conference On Computational Social Science #CS2Italy in Trento!
Many questions and many talks, a perfect time to meet great new people and old friends.
Other platforms, such as YouTube, have played a crucial role in the proliferation of their content.
The paper was presented at the 14th ACM Web Science Conference 2022 and remains of great importance for understanding the communication strategies of these types of users.
The news is of enormous importance, considering his positions on vaccines.
In the paper we saw how he has extensively used Children's Health Defense for news propagation.
Robert Kennedy Jr was announced as Secretary of Health and Human Services by the new Trump-led Republican administration.
In our "Disinformation Dozen" study #RobertKennedyJr emerged as the most active user of those placed in the analysis.

Activity on Bluesky over time, the black line represents the ban of X in Brazil
Bluesky activities exploded after the X ban in Brazil. Interesting research is on the horizon 🤭
Bluesky reached more than 10M users. We studied how the platform has evolved from invitation-only to open to the public. See our article "The Dawn of Decentralized Social Media: An Exploration of Bluesky's Public Opening" has been presented at ASONAM 2024.

Glad and excited to be able to attend the #WebSci24 conference!
There is nothing better than seeing colleagues and friends again after a long train trip.
Collecting data in real time is much more of a challenge than anyone might think #datascience
