Q: What type of content are your top three posts (or most recent) on your timeline? Is this pretty typical for your timeline? What kinds of social groups/communities are you a part of? Compare what you see with what your peers see. Are there more similarities or differences?
A: The three newest posts on my Instagram consist of sports news, all from three different sources on the same topic. I would say that this feed is pretty typical, considering I follow multiple news accounts. Compared to my peers, this is seen as abnormal behavior.
Q: What is the relationship between what you see in your social media timeline and what you know or believe?
A: I believe mostly everything I read on my account, because I follow reliable news accounts that are credible.
Q: How does your social presence compare with the professional/student biography that you created?
A: I don’t really have a large social media presence, therefore I do not post a lot of things. I use my social media to stay connected to friends and see whats happening around the world. I would say if you read my professional/student biography, then looked at my social media, you wouldn’t really see a difference in characteristics.
Q: Where do you find examples of bias in your social media timelines?
A: I find examples of bias in some meme posts, because in memes, they are making fun of a certain side of the story.
Q : Answer: who do I potentially influence on social media?
A: I guess I would potentially influence the people who follow me on social media. More specifically my best friends, because they always look at what I post.
Q: Answer: who do I engage with most on social media?
A: I engage with my best friends on social media. We all have a group chat where we can talk and share posts that we see throughout the day.
