Can someone recommend current literature on Cyber culture or digital ethnography?

Idle Question for Scholar.Social again (sorry):

What's the difference between gender abolition and gender nihilism? Is there one?

Once an academic, always an academic

Can someone recommend a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) that runs on Linux? Preferably FOSS.

I learned these very important basic German sentences while I was in Berlin:

* Möchtest du mit mir eine Limonade schlürfen?

* Deine Ideen sind wertvoll, aber du bist im unrecht.

* Da haben wir den Salat!

* Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt.

I wrote about why Mastodon is growing so fast. Short version: sex workers and lolicon.

Are there any scholars, students or other people from Jyväskylä (Finnland) here? Or someone who's spent some time there.

I moved to my current university a year ago for my Master's degree. I successfully applied here for an exchange semester next winter. But in the meantime I have realized that the orientation of my institute differs greatly from my personal academic interests.
But if I change my course (not my subject) now, I could never again have the chance for a semester abroad.

Dear fediverse, I need your help. I'm going to do some research on YouTube comments. Is there someone with experience in this field? Can someone recommend a software solution to extract the entries from the website into a text file or something like this?

Boost if you have nice sketchbooks in which you dare not draw lest you RUIN the pages.

Please boost widely: Call for Proposals, "After Social Media: Alternatives, New Beginnings, and Socialized Media." It's a call for research/essays on alternative social media, including Mastodon, of course. robertwgehl.org/blog.php#2017-

A monument of shame and remembrance.
Why? Because he needs it the most.

- renting a house direct next to him
- creating an network infiltrating, observing and taking actions against the far-right. As known from #NSU process the state infiltrated those networks too, but to protect and support.

Using free / open source software or (slightly better) proprietary / closed software that you can get for free?

I don't know how to carry on. I wasn't able to finish any thesis this semester or to get any Credit Points otherwise. I feel like under water. There's no motivation to go on. On the other hand I'm still interested in my subject.
Is this modern academia or is it me? Did anyone experience the same difficulties?

Due to a lack of motivation I can't finish my thesis now. I'll wait till I've got a lack of time instead ... (Deadline, here I come again)
