New research on inequality in online communities! We show that as communities grow, participation becomes increasingly concentrated among fewer users w/ Guilherme Machado, @diogofpacheco.bsky.social and @baxterity.bsky.social. arxiv.org/abs/2503.02661 @exetercompsci.bsky.social @uaveiro.bsky.social

Hoping to update my starterpack of the Portuguese complexity community. If you study complex systems or related things and work in Portugal or have a connection to Portugal, please get in touch! go.bsky.app/A8RRk6j

It's a network conferency day. Abstract submitted to @netsciconf.bsky.social, and while I won't be able to attend, I've also finished my reviews for @complenet.bsky.social in Fortaleza. Both shaping up to be great meetings!

More on Marsden’s dark day: There’s detailed comments via SMC www.sciencemediacentre.co.nz/2024/12/04/g...

We are looking for a coordinator for our new ERA Chair project based in Portugal (more news about that soon). Experience with #ComplexSystems a plus! fm.ucp.pt/news/post-sc...

I created a starter pack for complex systems researchers in portugal, and portuguese researchers around the world. Unfortunately many of the people I would like to add are still not here! Please send me suggestions for who to add. Very much work in progress. go.bsky.app/A8RRk6j

If you’re working in #NetworkScience or #ComplexNetworks, I strongly encourage you to consider joining #CompleNet25 in Fortaleza, Brazil. It’s a great opportunity to share ideas and connect with the community. Deadline is tomorrow, 15 November. @CompleNet cmt3.research.microsoft.com/CompleNet2025

It's great to see the massive wave of people coming to 🦋. Here's my first stab at a Computational Social Science starter pack: go.bsky.app/2m6iQ68 Go check out similar lists to bootstrap your network: bsky.app/starter-pack... bsky.app/starter-pack... Wonder if these lists could be merged somehow..

Some hard truths from Cory Doctorow: doctorow.medium.com/https-plural... It misses only one fact: Mastodon was born shitified! I still believe that the free software principles are strong and people will eventually unshitiffy it. But this hurdle will cost it a unique moment in history.
