Digital sovereignty and leisure
This paper puts into conversation the concepts of platformisation, digital sovereignty, and leisure by exploring the shift to Bluesky during the legal suspension of X in Brazil between 30th August and 8th October 2024. To analyse the impact on Brazilian users of the Supreme Court decision to block access to X’s servers during this period, we map the adoption and use of Bluesky by the 20 football clubs playing in the Brazilian first division.

This article,…

This article presents the cultural consumption of a football club - Liverpool FC - to understand the common 'love', 'suffering', 'care' and 'knowledge' that fans who are part of the 'Brazil Reds' or 'Switzerland Reds' (although not all fans engaged in such communities are 'from' Braz…
