We all sometimes ‘lurk’ in online spaces without posting or engaging, just reading the posts and comments. But neither reading nor lurking are ever passive acts. In fact, readers of social media are making decisions and taking grassroots actions on multiple dimensions. Unpacking this understudied phenomenon, Just Here for the Comments: Lurking as Digital Literacy Practice (Bristol UP, 2024) by Gina Sipley challenges the conventional perspective of what counts as participatory online culture. Presenting lurking as a communication and literacy practice that resists dominant power structures, it offers an innovative approach to digital qualitative methods. Unique and original in its subject, this is a call for internet researchers to broaden their methods to include lurkers’ participation and presence.
Just Here for the Comments will be released on May 28th by Bristol University Press. Pre-orders are now open here. Readers can also get a 25% discount on ALL Bristol University Press and Policy Press books by signing up to their newsletter.

In the last year of the Second World War, things were not going well for the Imperial Japanese military.
They had lost several major naval battles against the United States, they were losing territory, and they had no capability to rebuild the ships that they were losing.
They were desperate to find something to turn the tide of the war. What they settled on was one of the most terrifying tactics of the entire conflict for participants on both sides.
Learn more about the kamikaze pilots and why Japan adopted such a desperate tactic on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
We’ve been regularly covering key developments in the war in Gaza and the protests happening on college campuses here in the U.S. Today, we’re taking a closer look at what the protesters really want, and why the issue isn’t as black and white as it’s often made out to be.
