Great work on LGBTQ social media use by @ashleymawalker @smarmyliberal. I remember talking to ashley about these ideas in our online communities class in 2014 and glad to see it out in the world 😍😍 #CSCW2018

The fact that Twitter is reportedly removing "likes" in order to "promote healthy conversation" (with, as far as I can tell, no justification beyond "jack thinks it will work") is a darn compelling argument for that company to hire actual, trained social computing researchers.
