Question for academics who study platforms

This content was marked as sensitive. Click to reveal

Are there people in platform studies (broadly construed, not just the media studies subdiscipline) who are actively thinking through decentralized social media and its relation to "platform"? It's increasingly clear to me that the social and material relations of the fediverse do not map onto "platform" as the field has come to understand it.

DISCLAIMER: if you are not an academic please don't reply with your opinion, I'm asking academics for a reason.
