从社交网络Gettr获得的”深入见解“

"Gettr-ing" Deep Insights from the Social Network Gettr

Filipo Sharevski, Peter Jachim, Emma Pieroni, Amy Devine

摘要:

作为另一个替代性的社交网络,Gettr将自己定位为“思想市场”,用户应该期待真相在没有任何行政审查的情况下出现。我们通过分析平台的结构、680万个帖子的样本以及我们采访的124个Gettr用户的反馈来深入研究平台内部,看看情况是否属实。在管理上,Gettr故意试图扼杀对平台的任何外部评估,因为收集数据会受到API中不可预测和突然变化的影响。在内容方面,Gettr特别主持亲特朗普的内容,其中夹杂着阴谋论和对所谓“左派”的攻击。“它的社交网络结构是不对称的,以杰出的右翼思想领袖为中心,这是所有另类平台的特征。虽然右倾用户加入Gettr是因为主流平台侵犯了言论自由,但左倾用户也会大量关注他们,以“跟上错误信息”。“我们通过研究Gettr的用户界面设计来分析这些发现,以全面了解加入和竞争Gettr真相的激励结构。

英文摘要:

As yet another alternative social network, Gettr positions itself as the "marketplace of ideas" where users should expect the truth to emerge without any administrative censorship. We looked deep inside the platform by analyzing it's structure, a sample of 6.8 million posts, and the responses from a sample of 124 Gettr users we interviewed to see if this actually is the case. Administratively, Gettr makes a deliberate attempt to stifle any external evaluation of the platform as collecting data is marred with unpredictable and abrupt changes in their API. Content-wise, Gettr notably hosts pro-Trump content mixed with conspiracy theories and attacks on the perceived "left." It's social network structure is asymmetric and centered around prominent right-thought leaders, which is characteristic for all alt-platforms. While right-leaning users joined Gettr as a result of a perceived freedom of speech infringement by the mainstream platforms, left-leaning users followed them in numbers as to "keep up with the misinformation." We contextualize these findings by looking into the Gettr's user interface design to provide a comprehensive insight into the incentive structure for joining and competing for the truth on Gettr.
