“…Among our themes, 6% of messages were noticeably focused solely on the positive, and none were negative or pessimistic in content or tone, though several acknowledged the obviously stressful and chaotic period.

However, this growth resumed in 2021.…”

“…Menariknya, politisi yang secara rutin mengunggah cuitan mengenai pandemi mendapatkan persentase perolehan pengikut baru tertinggi (Haman, 2020).
