I just asked Meta’s Galactica.org to write about the “political economy of Facebook.” It returned, “Sorry, your query didn’t pass our content filters.”

Upon checking further, I can’t get #Galactica to write anything about Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg.

Not that I was expecting a blistering critical analysis, but it feels pretty weak that Galactica will write about other platforms and tech CEOs, but seems to filter any attempt to write about Facebook or its CEO.

Our #CSCW2022 paper, “Maintaining Values: Navigating Diverse Perspectives in Value-Charged Discussions in Open Source Development” is now available on the ACM DL: https://doi.org/10.1145/3555550

For those migrating from Twitter to #Mastodon, @debirdify is a handy little app that finds Mastodon accounts for the people you follow on Twitter, so you don’t have to start from scratch. I just used it, and it was easy and worked well

@Johannes_ernst at dazzle.town asked me about people’s willingness to sell their social media data. Interesting question, so I wrote this brief literature review for Dazzle’s blog: “Will consumers sell their personal data, and for how much?”

My article, “Depending on Other in the #IndieWeb: Navigating Holistic and Prescriptive Building in a Decentralized Social Network” was just published: https://hcommons.org/deposits/item/hc:46071/

It’s part of a collection of essays, titled “What Would Ursula Franklin Say?” Ursula Franklin is a huge influence on my research, so I’m honored to be part of this great collection. Read all 17 articles at https://reprisingtherealworld.hcommons.org/what-would-ursula-franklin-say-collection/
