Online spaces can be important platforms for people from sensitive, stigmatized, marginalized, and
vulnerable populations to discuss their problems and find support; yet platform design
decisions impact how people present themselves and interact with others. By studying
these groups' online self-presentation and disclosure practices, along with the
politics of social media platform design, we can understand how to design technology
to better support those facing experiences like sexual abuse, relationship
breakups, eating disorders, depression, LGBTQ+ minority stress, and gender presentation.
