His work is based on "old Twitter" and was collected while the research API was free (they estimate it would now cost 3.5 million € to collect this with a paid service 🤯).

looks like Finland is the place to be for conferencing this year, #OctoConf 19-20 November in Tampere and #CMCcorpora 27-28 August in Oulu: cmc2026.org/call/
What a delight to be co-organizing the former and giving a keynote at the latter 😊
