An example of social media for proactive government action.

[[J. Nathan Matias]] Citizens and Technology Lab

I recall having looked at some of this research and not thinking it was as strong as is indicated here. I also seem to recall he had a connection with Tristan Harris?

This is the second reference I've seen recently (Jack Dorsey mentioning a version was the first) of there being a marketplace for algorithms.

Does this help introduce enough noise into the system to confound the drive to the extremes for the average person? What should we suppose from the perspective of probability theory?

Do bots have or deserve the right to not only free speech, but free reach?

I've not run across data colonialism before.

How might one exploit this effect to more proactively improve and promote social welfare?

Purchasing a book is one of the strongest self-selections of community, and damn it, I wanted to engage.

The Kindle indicated with a subtle dotted underline and small inline text that those final sentences had been highlighted by “56 highlighters.” Other humans! Reading this same text, feeling the same impulse. Some need to mark those lines.

Social annotation is definitely part of the future of text. Distributing it across modalities may be the difficult part.

I love the idea of social peripheral vision online.

A great thing to want on a website! A tiny hint of phatic interaction amongst internet denizens.

This is pretty cool looking. I'll have to add it as an example to my list: Social Reading User Interface for Discovery.

We definitely need more things like this on the web.

It makes me wish the Reading.am indicator were there without needing to click on it.

I wonder how this sort of activity might be built into social readers as well?

There are definitely some great use cases for this.

Suddenly social annotation has taken an interesting twist. @Hypothes_is better watch out! ;)

This is also the case for many other toxic online social media platforms. A fantastic framing.

We have built strong communities on social platforms

They have? Really?! I think it's more likely the social platforms have built strong communities which happen to be talking about and sharing the papers content. The paper doesn't have any content moderation or control capabilities on any of these platforms.

Now it may be the case that there are a broader diversity of voices on those platforms over their own comments sections. This means that a small proportion of potential trolls won't drown out the signal over the noise as may happen in their comments sections online.

If the paper is really listening on the other platforms, how are they doing it? Isn't reading some or all of it a large portion of content moderation? How do they get notifications of people mentioning them (is it only direct @mentions)?

Couldn't/wouldn't an IndieWeb version of this help them or work better.

There is more of the latter than the former to be certain, but I don't think it's by design.

Many of the people there are already experts in some of these sub-areas, so there aren't as many questions on those fronts. Often there are other resources that are also better for these issues and links to them can be found within the wiki.

The social portions are far more difficult, so this is where folks are a bit more focused.

I think when the community grows, we'll see more of these questions about CSS, HTML, and accessibility. (In fact I wish more people were concerned about accessibility and why it was important.)
