#AoIR2026 is making me want to become active on bluesky, y'all are too funny

I am being just overwhelmed with amazing research on #alternativeSocialMedia during an #AoIR2026 panel right now. The work happening now is going to resonate for years.

Better put my money where my mouth is #AoIR2026

Cannot tell you how heartening it is to see and hear so much well-theorised, historically grounded (inc media and internet history!) work about actually existing synthetic media and generative AI practices at #AoIR2026 but it's really heartening

Everyone put in your tin foil hats because what if the Velvet Despot incident on the #aoir listserv was just a psyop by Big AoIR™ to sell t-shirts? Wake up sheeple! The truth is out there!
