Thank you for presenting!
You mentioned in the book that a promising topic for future research is to explicate the mediality of different discursive spaces and the form of affective attunement and engagement these invite. I find this related to Banerjee Abhijit et al.'s work in the diffusion of microfinance. By modeling the information diffusion process among people, they found out that a microfinance participant is more likely to spread the information; nonetheless, information transmitted by nonparticipants is also important because nonparticipants are much more numerous.
What I am thinking is maybe the structure of people's engagement itself is also a feature of the network, and engagement, mediality, and affective attunement can influence each other.
