Abstract

Instagram provides users with several affordances, including enough space for bloggers to mention each other to stress the collaborative nature of the content creation. These affordances have led to the development of a new type of user structure: shared mediated discussion based on collaborative efforts of social media influencers. During the first months of the COVID outbreak, Russian speaking social media influencers across the world initiated a global information exchange. I identified six cases in March-April 2020 when bloggers from different countries participated in collaborative posting and published posts on the same day on a given topic containing a unique hashtag and direct links to authors from other countries bloggers. The authors participated in the series of collaborative posting with varying degrees of involvement. The geography of ties between authors changes for each case of collaborative posting but remains global at scale.
