Workshop Presentation: Digital Banter on the Fringe
At the VOX-Pol/C-REX Summer School on Studying Online Extremism, held at the University of Oslo, Craig Ryder explores how fringe platforms give rise to a culture of “digital banter” that blurs the lines between irony, extremism, and online subversion. His talk examines the social dynamics and communicative tactics that enable radical content to spread under the guise of humor, posing critical questions for researchers studying the digital far right.
