Assoc. Prof. at the Dept of Communication and Journalism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Prez of #AoIR. I study the #internet, especially #unfriending and #sharing (but not so much the latter these days). I #drum a bit. I'm a big fan of #democracy.

Admin of aoir.social, which means I must enjoy Internet Cats.

Currently run by @rwg (he/him)

This account follows other admins, and it boosts posts by aoir.social members (images boosted only if they have alt text)

Trans rights are human rights. I boost #BlackMastodon and #MutualAid posts. I also call for alt text for accessibility.
