The mythical ‘follower count’

Shephali Bhatt

@ShephaliBhatt

When serotonin is a swipe away, we often skip 'following' a user as the algorithm ensures unending supply of best content on our feed anyway. #CreatorEconomy struggles with this. But in the age of bots, should follower count even matter?

Bohemia Beach Is Having Another Day in the Sun

Kyle Chayka

@chaykak

I really regret not growing up in a series of DIY modernist beach houses in obscure cape cod built by successive generations of my bohemian cultural-elite family nytimes.com/2022/08/13/sty nytimes.com/2022/08/13/sty

Three recent books revisit the Outer Cape, long an inspiration for writers like Mary McCarthy, who lampooned the area as “the seacoast of Bohemia.”

depressing symptom of an online ecosystem that latches onto social justice terminology, strips it of any meaning or value, and absorbs it into a bottomless pit of buzzword cud that allows people to pretend like their knee jerk misogyny is morally and socially good

I wanted to make a joke about the CDC guidance, but honestly I’m too sad. This entire pandemic, we’ve consistently prioritized the “right” to not be inconvenienced over the right for vulnerable people to exist. It’s eugenics as policy, and most of the public is fine with that.

Can’t help but notice it’s been all quiet on the minimizing front. Even the worst offenders can’t keep it up in the face of the overwhelmingly evidence of #LongCovid pathology that was laid down this week.

Anti-media factions constantly claim any reporting on them is “doxxing.” It’s absolutely baseless. These people know exactly what actual doxxing is because they do it constantly to women, marginalized groups, and anyone who speaks out against them

No, but let’s talk about it, because this is becoming a repeated anti-media rhetorical tactic. In a report about her conduct, I published the full name and former job of a prolific social media account that was referenced during the Depp v Heard trial. twitter.com/tralalalumbum/…

I hope you read this story to get a sense of the online harassment people, especially Black women, face just for sharing opinions and evidence that contradicts mainstream narratives. Or just for working at a PR firm. nbcnews.com/tech/internet/

Journalists like myself have also been a target of pro-Depp lies & conspiracies. This article is the first time I’ve ever communicated with anyone at Shane Communications, the PR firm that works with Amber Heard. They provided me a copy of the letter sent by their lawyers.

Years Ago, Black Feminists Worked Together to Unmask Twitter Trolls Posing as Women of Color. If...

You’ll notice I have turned most replies off for this thread. This is to protect my sources, both Black women who have endured extreme forms of online harassment. Black feminists have long been on the front lines of online harassment.

The fake accounts had handles like @NayNayCantStop, @LatrineWatts, and @CisHate, and bios like “Queer + black + angry.”
