@ben just installed it in a server, and while it looks really promissing, I noticed an add promising an Amazon voucher for those willing to go pro.

Besides finding it so alien to (self-hosted) #floss ethos, that mad me wonder if this is already #enshitified since inception.

@bonfire Actually, not really true: the openscience instance is a non-federated sandbox (for now) so you can only follow me within that instance.

@bonfire I will be posting more updates, and thanks to #activitypub you can follow those updates from here following this account

We want to thank to all those who filled the survey, and to @JannaJoceliOmena and the Master’s students in the @cimethods for their work with the social media datasets.

Both, the article and the survey's data are #openaccess and can be found in these links:

5. Terrain transformation

We argue that not only the host is transformed as a consequence of the migration, but also the destination and the wider landscape.

Neither #twitter /X nor #mastodon, not even the social media landscape, are no longer the same.

4. Migration

Probably the most obvious and difficult to define and measure: as a result of the previous ones, there is a movement of users from one site or platform to another. This can take many forms: technical actions, such as account setup or closure, content archiving...

3. Collective platform consciousness

Users become part of a collective that is distinct to their experience of ordinary site/platform use.

They see themselves as connected to and affected by a larger event + as part of a shared responses.

2. Critical Voice

Users begin to express dismay, anger, frustration, sadness, shock and/or related emotions directed at the event and subsequent decline.

1. The X factor

An event or factor that triggers the migration. The “most significant” thing.

In our Eventful Migration Theory, we have identified the following 5 components:

This eventful migration theory widens the conceptual scope for how we approach #socialmedia Migration in ways that more directly tie such movements to specific questions of power, agency and events that ripple through digital cultures.

We do so by shifting from pull-push factors to eventfulness.

Based on an extensive literature review on social media migration, and empirical data drawing on a survey to #mastodon users after #twitter acquisition by #elonmusk in 2022, and social media analysis, we end up proposing a new theory of eventful migration.

@BBCRadio4 I wonder why other parties in the oposition do not receive half as much attention as fascist parties get.

I wish the major news show covered on prime time other more pressing matters such as how oposition aims to tackle inequalities or mitigate the #climatechange, for example.
