Reddit announced their plan... to announce a plan for researchers to access Reddit data - https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit4researchers/comments/1co0mqa/our_plans_for_researchers_on_reddit/

I'm cautiously hopeful.

Most online communities fail really quickly, never getting more than a few contributors.

What role do community founders have in which communities grow?

In this blog post, I summarize research that @skairam
and I did surveying Reddit founders.

jeremy,

The TL;DR is that founders differ along a lot of dimensions regarding why they start their subreddits and what they hope they become.

Those who are motivated by interest in a topic, and who have plans to recruit others are the most likely to see their communities grow.

To learn more, read the blog post, or better yet, read our paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.00601, which will be presented at

@andresmh @skairam

Yes, I think there's a lot of noise and not all founders do much to contribute. :)

I don't remember if @skairam asked this in the Reddit, but in my earlier paper on wikis I asked how many contributors they thought their wiki would get. I never published it, but there was very little correlation with the actual size a year-ish later. I was actually surprised that the founder actions had as strong as a relationship as they do.

Hi folks,

I'm working to put together a directed study with a student.

I'm looking for syllabi about HCI/CSCW and Human-AI interaction. If you have one you'd be willing to share, LMK!

I made a quick video showing how to use http://Claude.AI for understanding academic articles. My students have found it helpful so I'm sharing more broadly.

I think it's so cool that you can "have a conversation" with an article.

@ICA_CAT

Is there a process for having job ads posted on your social media pages?

We're hiring and I'd love to have it posted - https://careers.purdue.edu/job-invite/28474/

What’s your favorite mobile email app and why?

jeremy,
@jeremy@hci.social avatar

@andresmh eh, I think they're both good enough. I use Gmail and Outlook because it's nice to have work and personal email separated.

It sure is fun to teach a Web Data Science class while all of this is unfolding! https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/08/x-updates-its-terms-to-ban-crawling-and-scraping/

@bkeegan Ditto!

I'm moving as much as I can to Reddit. PRAW is fantastic, and the terms are reasonable for many projects.

🚨 Self-promotion alert 🚨

How do people decide whether to participate in Enterprise Social Media like Slack?

In our new paper (with Jeff Treem, Bart van den Hoofff, Marjolijn Honcoop), we use interviews and ABMs to show that the multifunctional nature of ESMs can help to explain when they succeed.

I enjoy Mastodon and follow a great set of folks but a few aspects of the experience are annoying.

Mastodon needs real threads and optional algorithmic sorting.

@andresmh Looks like iOS only? :( I'm on Android.

Hirschman's Exit, Voice, and Loyalty https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit,_Voice,_and_Loyalty is a great framework for thinking about how people decide when and whether to migrate platforms.

The key insight is that when an organization's members become dissatisfied, they can either leave or express their discontent.

Which option they choose depends on the other options available if they leave and the perceived efficacy of voicing concerns.

If, for example, an organization appeared not to care about what its members say 🤔, then they will be more likely to leave.

Looking for pointers on using LLMs for social science research. E.g., for classification, as chatbots, as simulated agents, etc.

Would love to have a conversation here, and also to read good things that have been written.

@andresmh @msbernst yes, it's great!!

Network scholars, I have a question for you.

I'm writing an ego-centric network gathering survey and I'd like to get the gender of alters of coworkers.

I had a few students pilot the study and they pointed out that they are not confident in how their coworkers identify.

I'd love suggestions for an inclusive way to ask this question.

As part of a summer course, I'm teaching a few weeks about reproducible research workflows.

I'm planning on talking about Makefiles + READMEs + Git + file organization - what else should I include, and what are your favorite resources about reproducible research?

I wonder if "early leavers" is a category of users we should pay as much attention to as "early adopters." What is a tool or service you left early?

@andresmh @Niloufar @jbigham

I would read that.
