Kevin Munger writes: "Overall, I found that it is possible to cause people to use less harassing language. This change seems to be most likely when both individuals share a social identity. Unsurprisingly, high status people are also more likely to cause a change."

There's a lot to dig into here. I'm not sure most students are aware of bots or of buying followers, which is a good place to start. When I talk about digital citizenship, I always address cyberbullying. I emphasize that being an upstander by making a comment of support to the person being bullied, or by merely commenting that the bully is being unkind, can go a long way. Now, here is some statistical proof of that, with some caveats. It would be interesting to hear students' take on what "sharing a social identity" means to them. Thanks to Diane Main, @Dowbiggin on Twitter for sharing this.
