In 4 years of engagement on Facebook we identified 2 major shifts in trends. In both, ideological gap widens and news quality declines. BUT while engagement rises 📈 in the 1st shift, it falls 📉 in the 2nd.

Happy to present at the Computational Social Science satellite, with the recent news this same paper was accepted just a few days ago. For now, you can see the updated preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2409.13461

It was a great week at IC2S2 in Norrköping! This community is really something. Today I got to share our findings on tracking engagement with news content on Facebook (check the preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2409.13461 )...and I was lucky enough to do so on the amazing auditorium stage✨️

I'm very much looking forward to this next monday! ✨️ Note that 11am ET means 4pm CET due to light saving changes. Join for some discussion on signed networks, online platforms and polarization! I might also announce a cool dataset coming soon 🤭
