  1. People in #DigitalHumanities / #ComputationalSocialSciences / #InternetResearch: What are currently the best approaches to archiving / scraping / transcribing #TikTok? I’d be interested in both preserving the original video, the original video page including captions/comments/…, and more structured data extraction techniques. Any pointers?

  2. Whitedates infrastructure is now “fully secured”.

    The private messages appearing daily on okstupid.lol/motd suggest otherwise.

    Also, after discovering Christiane Brauns piano video beforehand, I felt morally obligated to record a better version myself.

    Right now the websites are offline again 😢

  4. Good lord, I didn't realise it was so hard to get the information you want from search engines 😳️

    https://danluu.com/seo-spam/

    I've done a lot of researche, especially for Snipette, to the extent that skipping through bad results or rapidly retrying different combinations to get something that works has become second nature to me—as has digging deeper into sites to get better links.

    At least, I hope so. The alternative is that I'm imbibing and spewing that same misinformation too 🫢️

  5. You did your own research? That might carry some weight with some people, but not with those of us who know that being a researcher is a legit full-time job for a reason. So please don't try to make me believe that just because you searched for something on google *and* bing, you are doing research.

  6. I am in the prospectus phase of my PhD journey and hot damn trying to narrow down your dissertation topic is so hard! Does anyone have any suggestions or things that helped you with that when you were writing your diss? #askacademics #internetresearch #FOSSacademic #phdlife

  7. I never got a response, but i have refreshed motivation to research this even more, and maybe even make a video essay out of it

    First off: One of the mentions of the missile copypasta i found while first researching this:

    AAFM Newsletter, Dec. 1997, Volume 5, Number 4, "Victors in the Cold War"

  9. Due server migration, I’m reposting my #introduction. 👋

    I'm a PhD student in #sociolinguistics at the University of Tartu. My dissertation explores how #multilingualism manifests itself in #youthlanguage (on the example of 🇸🇪 🇪🇪 teens). 💬 My other interests include #internetlinguistics & #conlangs. I also work as a content creator, #language editor and an #Estonian teacher.

    I'd love to connect with people doing #linguistics, #internetresearch, #sociology and #scicomm. 🤗

  10. Time for my own #introduction 👋

    I'm a PhD student in #sociolinguistics at the University of Tartu. My dissertation explores how #multilingualism manifests itself in #youthlanguage. Specifically, I'm looking at Swedish Estonian teenagers' interactions. My other interests include #internetlinguistics & #conlangs. I also work as a (freelance) content creator, language editor and a teacher of Estonian.

    I'd love to connect with people doing #linguistics, #internetresearch, #sociology and #scicomm 🤗

  11. I will post on Mastodon about two main topics: my work on #internetresearch and #dog related content. For now, here is my seal for a good #friday feel #mastodog

  12. I have a script that will run daily and try to save Birdwatch metadata that has been posted online.

    Currently everything is just sitting in a publicly readable Google Cloud Storage bucket: storage.googleapis.com/birdwat

    Individual files (as listed in that XML) can be downloaded like so: storage.googleapis.com/birdwat

    Code repo and better explanation here: github.com/bpettis/birdwatch-s

    Prettier interface and data structure coming eventually... maybe.
