🚀 Fresh off the press! I’ve just received the printed edition of 'Disinformation and Risk Society. What is at Stake with the Proliferation of Information Disorders', a collective effort to dissect the complexities of today’s information landscape. And guess what? The Fediverse takes center stage in my contribution!

In my chapter, 'Fediverse: Decentralised and Interoperable Networks in Times of Disinformation', I explore how this decentralized, community-driven ecosystem is reshaping the digital public sphere. While centralized platforms struggle with disinformation and algorithmic manipulation, the Fediverse offers a radical alternative—one built on transparency, user autonomy, and federation protocols like ActivityPub.

🔍 Key topics I explore:

🔹 The roots and evolution of decentralized online social networks (DOSNs).
🔹 The Musk Effect—how Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover fueled a migration wave to Mastodon.
🔹 The promise (and challenges) of community-driven moderation.
🔹 How the Fediverse can empower ethical, independent journalism in an era of algorithmic chaos.

This book is part of the IBERIFIER project, funded by the European Commission, and brings together top researchers tackling disinformation from multiple angles.

A huge thanks to the editors and fellow contributors for making this project a reality!

Australia's Top 20 news website rankings for February are out this morning. Big thanks to the 7.5 million Australians who read Guardian Australia last month 🙌

ABC News held No1 with 12.4m readers, with newscomau 2nd with 12.2m

GdnAus dropped -430k readers, but still held 6th spot 652k readers clear of SMH on 6.88m. Despite a small audience drop, Age overtook BBC to jump into Top 10. Keep in mind the month was 3 days (-10%) shorter as well!

Elsewhere in the Top20, The Australian jumped two spots in the table to 12th, overtaking NYTimes, while Forbes dropped 5 spots to 18th and SkyNewsOz was down two spots to 17th.

NIH weirdly reappears at 13th with a huge 810k readers added in Feb, but maybe the big news is The Nightly making their first ever appearance in the Top 20.

CourierMail are also back in Top20 for the first time since Oct last year, with DailyTele & Fox Sports dropping out

I might add that I am particularly pleased to see Guardian Australia's attention time (average minutes per person) up at 20mins here, which is the highest it's been since Oct/Nov last year, but would put us at 4th if you sorted the Top20 on that measure.
