| Resumo: | This article aims at examining the complex ecology of online communication. While most studies on digital communication investigates specific platforms or particular forums, this study examines the impact of a controversial event – the racist and homophobic expressions of the Federal Congressman Jair Bolsonaro in the CQC TV Show – in three environments: YouTube, blogs and Facebook. The analysis explores how citizens, through daily online conversation, exchange their views and perspectives, negotiate the value and the treatment they dispense to each other. The results reveal the characteristics of social conflict regarding the rules of civic coexistence in these platforms, with distinct designs and affordances as well as different expectations of interaction between users and audiences. |
