We discover how production networks dynamically rewired during COVID-19, with firms that enabled economic exchanges emerging as key players and creating a more resilient economy overall. Check our paper doi.org/10.48550/arX... @giuliocimini.bsky.social @blengyel.bsky.social Anna Mancini

@ric-dicle.bsky.social and colleagues, took an in-depth look at the way online #Reddit conversations were influencing the “offline” world and vice versa, with interest & interactions becoming more frenetic as we get closer to the event.

From politics to sports, Reddit conversations narrow and intensify before major events, new research finds

A network scientist at Northeastern in London, found that interactions on various topics developed in similar ways on Reddit.

🚀 We analyzed Reddit discussions and found that offline events speed up conversations, making them more repetitive and less meaningful as users' semantic spaces shrink with higher activity. 📊 Curious how events shape online dialogue?
Thank you to Antonio Desiderio in leading this work! 👍

Antonio Desiderio @adtony.bsky.social · Mar 12

How do major real-world events shape online conversations?
With Anna Mancini, @giuliocimini.bsky.social @ric-dicle.bsky.social we found that while activity surges, users repeat the same ideas at an accelerating pace, limiting meaningful discussions.
