β€˜It shows me mental health things … and keeps spamming diets’: a qualitative, spatial perspective on how people with eating disorders experience algorithms shaping their movement across social media

Sharing our article on how people with #eatingdisorders experience social media #algorithms. Timely with the children & social media ban talk, but we found people with EDs used social media also for self-care but algorithms encouraged wandering and bubbles. More user control needed, also for adults!

Sounds excellent for someone studying eating disorders. Wonder how this applies to promoted content? The platforms are completely ruined by the random, cliched rubbish.

My first post on Bluesky :). Just an example of who I am as an academic. How people with #eatingdisorders connect with friends on social media and what the in's and out's of it are in terms of 'ethos'. Looking forward to connecting with everyone.
