Hello world,

I wanted to share an update on my project, which is supported by the AXA RF postdoctoral fellowship. The project aims to identify the optimal characteristics of decentralised social media platforms that foster prosocial digital spaces (that promote safe communication).

The project is hosted at the @qutdmrc@mas.to and AARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society.
