[Air-L] Alternative social media != right-wing social media

Apropos of the discussion about where to go when Musk takes over Twitter, I wanted to share a piece I just posted on The Conversation pushing back against the tendency in news (and some scholarship) to reduce alternative social media to right-wing social media sites, such as Gab: https://theconversation.com/citizens-social-media-can-provide-an-antidote-to... I'd like us to start talking about citizens' social media (which I believe the fediverse might be) as opposed to both corporate social media like Twitter and right-wing social media like Gab. Perhaps this can inform a bit of the conversation we're about to have at AOIR about a possible AOIR-run social media site! - Rob
