#invisiblerulers — Public Fediverse posts

@Noupside Have you watched “The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem” 2024 documentary on Netflix yet? It is SO well done. Like your book #InvisibleRulers, it draws “through lines” / “connects the dots” from early Internet days with #4Chan through #GamerGate to #Anonymous and #January6. Highly recommended. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31189868/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk #MediaLit #ConCW

@Noupside I just finished listening to #InvisibleRulers, what a fantastic resource you’ve created for all of us. Thank you & well done! I am going to revisit your last chapter, particularly, it has me thinking about my own non-use of Twitter. I quit back in Nov 2023. I see that your tweets are protected. From what you wrote in the last chapter, I’m guessing at this point, you encourage others, including educators like myself, to remain active and engaged on the platform?

Remember the name Renée DiResta

Her book “Invisible Rulers” comes out today. I am very excited to read it (4th in my library’s hold queue)

"The real #DiResta is a respected scholar and the lead researcher at the SIO. She has now published #InvisibleRulers, a fluid and deeply informed work on #socialmedia #influencers: their rise, their methods, their target.
She contends that “a new system of persuasion”—a convergence of the influencers, the #algorithms that give them visibility, and the online crowds that follow and support them—is transforming society."
