In 4 years of engagement on Facebook we identified 2 major shifts in trends. In both, ideological gap widens and news quality declines. BUT while engagement rises 📈 in the 1st shift, it falls 📉 in the 2nd.
Happy to present at the Computational Social Science satellite, with the recent news this same paper was accepted just a few days ago. For now, you can see the updated preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2409.13461
And @avdeville.bsky.social presented our work from C72h 2024 on the effect of subsampling when assesing online polarization, here is the report we wrote in three days: arxiv.org/abs/2406.19867
Improved version coming soon!
Two of my favourite collaborators also had great talks in which they presented joint work:
@maxpe.bsky.social presented our fresh out-of-the-oven, decade-long, forum discussions dataset (more info here: arxiv.org/abs/2506.22224 )
It was a great week at IC2S2 in Norrköping! This community is really something.
Today I got to share our findings on tracking engagement with news content on Facebook (check the preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2409.13461 )...and I was lucky enough to do so on the amazing auditorium stage✨️
Sad I missed it. Why is this picture the same Palette as the group picture of FRIENDS CCS 2024?
I'm very much looking forward to this next monday! ✨️ Note that 11am ET means 4pm CET due to light saving changes. Join for some discussion on signed networks, online platforms and polarization! I might also announce a cool dataset coming soon 🤭
