The post was an example of what researchers from Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University say is a dramatic rise in recent months of tweets related to self-harm. In a new report, the researchers said they have detected a Twitter community that is increasingly posting graphic photos, with hashtags, that reveal bloody self-injury practices. The tweets are garnering unusually high engagement given the small number of followers of the accounts, the report found.
“When you glorify cutting and poking and these forms of self-harm, you’d probably have the effect of sort of validating and affirming it. I suspect that is encouraging more of it," said Lee Jussim, a psychology professor at Rutgers University who helped write the report. “It smells to me like social media contagion."
The users posting to Twitter commonly use acronyms and coded language to discuss their cutting techniques, the report said. In addition to “shtwt,” they will refer to superficial self-cuts as a “catscratch” because it often looks like cat scratches or “beans” to refer to deeper cuts. The term “raspberry filling" refers to blood, while “moots” is a reference to “mutually engaging in self-harm,” according to the report.
What kind of loser hack is reduced to reporting on twitter hashtags?... Oh. Sorry for your career.
