Or here's a more personalized paper feed that also looks for links to papers published at #CHR2024, #CSCW2024, and the Journal of #CulturalAnalytics. I really want arxiv links too but am not sure how to filter them.

Andrés Lucero’s current personal profile view on Mastodon with 204 followers.
I joined #Mastodon 2 years ago. I #tooted (and tweeted) during #CHI2023, but follower numbers stalled at around 200.
I joined #Bluesky 1 year ago. My first #skeet was barely a week ago at #CSCW2024, with follower numbers at 500 and counting. Promising start!
Not only am I sad that #cscw2024 is over, but now I also have to face the reality of my dwindling stock of Costa Rican coffee beans :( ☕
📢 I'm on the tenure-track job market! 📢
Very proud of this work recently presented at #CSCW2024!
I hope it will inspire others to study police radio communications using appropriate safeguards and privacy-preserving strategies given our findings about racial disparities in privacy vulnerability.
#CSCW2024 was amazing, ToChi on Asymmetry in hybrid Work dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... and CSCW paper on #Neurodiversity dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... - and then I am proud to be part of the panel celebrating Dave Randall lasting Impact Award - #ReWork - thanks to all co-authors and fellow panelists!
So, a while back, I embarked on a project to take an explicitly-transfeminist approach to re-designing dating apps. I'm pretty proud of the design principles we came up with, and you should consider reading the paper about them: wp.me/p2O4Fr-he #cscw2024

Traveling for #CSCW2024, I had two long layovers in Miami. Here are some pictures I took at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens during one of them. #photography

had a great trip to Costa Rica for #cscw2024 -- first, I was a mentor for some amazing PhD students at the Doctoral Consortium and then I participated on a debate style panel on whether Human-AI Interaction is Collaboration…

I was at #CSCW2024 in Costa Rica this past week. My only previous CSCW was in 2013, in San Antonio. Something that happened in the meantime: I've felt a night-and-day contrast between attending conferences when I knew almost no one and attending conferences when I know several people.

Author list: Samuel Mayworm, Shannon Li, Hibby Thach, Dan Delmonaco, Christian Paneda, Andrea Wegner, Oliver L. Haimson Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, Volume 8, Issue CSCW1 Published: 26 April 2024
Abstract (warning: long block of text): Marginalized social media users struggle to navigate inequitable content moderation they experience online. We developed the Online Identity Help Center (OIHC) to confront this challenge by providing information on social media users' rights, summarizing platforms' policies, and providing instructions to appeal moderation decisions. We discuss our findings from interviews (n = 24) and surveys (n = 75) which informed the OIHC's design, along with interviews about and usability tests of the site (n = 12). We found that the OIHC's resources made it easier for participants to understand platforms' policies and access appeal resources. Participants expressed increased willingness to read platforms' policies after reading the OIHC's summarized versions, but expressed mistrust of platforms after reading them. We discuss the study's implications, such as the benefits of providing summarized policies to encourage digital literacy, and how doing so may enable users to express skepticism of platforms' policies after reading them.

My first post here: Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica! I had a day trip there and did zipline when I was attending #CSCW2024. Awesome experience! Next, #GROUP2025! Hope to see many of you there too!

With both #AoIR2024 and #CSCW2024 in the past few weeks, I’m glad to finally have the chance to take a little break (see: pretending my pending work doesn’t exist for at least one more day)

I had a wonderful time at #CSCW2024! I met so many inspiring researchers and reconnected with friends. I’m super thankful for the opportunity to present the poster from my collab with Dr. KB and her lab. Back to work now!
Content Moderation Folk Theories and Perceptions of Platform Spirit among Marginalized Social Media Users Authors: Samuel Mayworm, Michael Ann DeVito, Dan Delmonaco, Hibby Thach, Oliver L. Haimson ACM Transactions on Social Computing, Vol. 7, Issue 1-4 Published: 23 March 2024
Abstract (warning, long block of text): Social media users create folk theories to help explain how elements of social media operate. Marginalized social media users face disproportionate content moderation and removal on social media platforms. We conducted a qualitative interview study (n = 24) to understand how marginalized social media users may create folk theories in response to content moderation and their perceptions of platforms' spirit, and how these theories may relate to their marginalized identities. We found that marginalized social media users develop folk theories informed by their perceptions of platforms' spirit to explain instances where their content was moderated in ways that violate their perceptions of how content moderation should work in practice. These folk theories typically address content being removed despite not violating community guidelines, along with bias against marginalized users embedded in guidelines. We provide implications for platforms, such as using marginalized users' folk theories as tools to identify elements of platform moderation systems that function incorrectly and disproportionately impact marginalized users.

I cannot begin to express how excited and proud I am that #CSCW is finally coming to Latin America and what better country than Costa Rica 🇨🇷 to host #CSCW2024! Hopefully other #SIGCHI conferences will be held in new locations, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. #PuraVida
Doing some social computing and HCI research in Costa Rica after #cscw2024 to prepare for @acm-cscw.bsky.social in 2025
best takeaway from attending #CSCW2024: wore my “everyone watches women’s sports shirt” & approached someone wearing theirs. i made two new women’s basketball besties AND future research collaborators. win, win, win.

Gave my first (and second) conference presentations at #CSCW2024! I really enjoyed the conference, met lots of great people, learned lots of new things 😄

Thanks to the #CSCW2024 chairs and organizers for a wonderful CSCW! Excited to co-chair workshops for #CSCW2025
