Would love #help: I find I'm fixating on #Mastodon the way my brain locks onto all #SocialMedia/#tech

Like "when is the best time to post?!"🙄

I only ever used social media as an educational content creator & the ever-shifting #algorithm (& more) REALLY messed me up (hardly alone in that!)

I came to Mastodon to have a space that's NOT my nonprofit—that's ME

I want #connection, not clicks

But it's creeping in nonetheless...

Second plenary at #ADDA4 is Caroline Tagg. After introducing what #connection is and why it is relevant to us, she explains how it is construed or disrupted in mobile communication. I can relate to many dis/connecting practices she’s presenting, from leaving/being left unread/on read to limiting online connection and taking time to polish texts to present oneself in certain ways. She links these practices to media ideologies and interactants’ sociolinguistic features. @linguistics
