Today @ #ViennaChildren'sUniversity 🧒
How can YOU stay safe on social media? 🤔
Our @solecheler.bsky.social & @amplanitzer.bsky.social, with @julianeidhardt.bsky.social & @allanhanbury.bsky.social, explored counter speech 🗣️ & algorithmic moderation 🤖 via roleplay, annotation games & a kindness wall 💛

Had so much fun at our workshop on incivility and content moderation, based on our @wwtf.at Digital Humanism project, at the Vienna children’s university today! @amplanitzer.bsky.social @allanhanbury.bsky.social @julianeidhardt.bsky.social 😎🫶🏼😆

@ipk-univie.bsky.social is wrapping up #ica25 in Denver!

What are the content-level characteristics of selectively avoided news? 🤔
@dbetakova.bsky.social presenting her impressive two-study research using computational text analysis and baysian modelling /w @solecheler.bsky.social & @hajoboo.bsky.social at an engaging #ICA25 panel on news avoidance 👏

What kinds of content do users themselves want to see moderated on platforms? 👀
Surprisingly, it's less about the incivility of language and more about authorial intention, target vulnerability and platform affordances /w @solecheler.bsky.social, @pia-p.bsky.social & Svenja Schäfer 🙂 #ICA25 #PolComm

@polcomvienna.bsky.social at the #ica25, come see our presentations!

Our team showed up strong for the #PolcommPreconference25 🥳
