Recent years have seen a move of social media users from the environmental fields from
X/Twitter to Bluesky and other platforms. This project aims to better understand this shift by
combining previously gathered X/Twitter data with new data from Bluesky. It uses LLMs for
topic and stance detection and network analysis of community interaction to identify
differences in shared content, positions and interactions to answer the following questions:
How much of the pro-climate debate is still left on X? How much has moved to Bluesky or to
other platforms? How have communication patterns changed with the shift?
Useful skills: Data acquisition via APIs, data analysis, network analysis
Useful prior knowledge: Social media analysis
