I really hope I won't need to actually use linkedin in the future for work or something. I just went there to check someone's profile and saw a few posts that were doing the rounds and it was physically revolting to read.

If I ever post shit like this y'all have permission to punch me

I was hanging out in Shattrath and Dalaran so much as a teen that I realized these MMOs and Virtual Worlds became genuine social sites, no longer games to me.

That really was the initial spark that made me a media sociologist

Found a Nick Yee quote from his 2014 book "The Proteus Paradox" that resonates with me. I think of this a lot when I read papers and posts on how the Metaverse will revolutionize remote work and meetings 😅

New meta-article published by Slater et al. on Social VR. What irks me is how little it tackles actual social lives that ppl (will) lead in VR, focusing instead on the commong categories of collaboration, work, wellbeing, teaching, AI, regulation etc. (1/5)

Polly Verlag is releasing its first book for children, "Pepe und die Draussentiere"!

We are doing a release event in Berlin for it, where I will also do some comic readings. If you know anyone there who might be interested, let them know ;)

Of course, the whole event is kid friendly!

This was my first time in Bremen and at a ZemKi event, was very impressed! Will keep an eye out for future calls and conferences to return eventually ;)

I held a presentation about Social VR there yesterday 🗣️
✨💭 The rows are filled with joyful anticipation for the next keynote and panels.

More information about the conference: zemki.uni-bremen.de/...

To all vrc folks:

For a sociological book that tackles everyday situations/life in VRChat, what cover do you imagine?

What would bring accross your everyday experience inside vrc in a single picture or scene?

Currently collecting some ideas, if you have any, let me know ;)

Kai Cenat hit a million twitch subs, that is crazy to think about. The format is really mainstream now, with huge production crews and star power behind it.

Sitting in the Mittelbau/Post-Doc Meeting at #DGS2025 right now and my perspectives for sustainable work positions in academia are looking bleak, I gotta admit 🫠

There's a palpable air of defeated cynicism in this room, and I can't fault anyone for it. Not really looking forward to post-doc life 💀

Everything is truly coming back every 20 years or so, haha. I thought for sure this was uploaded two decades ago but its just emulating the style. Nearly looks identical to homemade electro dance videos I used to watch when i was like 14 years old 😅
