Since this paper’s publication, it has come to our attention that two of the tables included in the paper were calculated using a slightly different dataset than the rest of our analysis. Consequently, we have recalculated the values for those tables and reviewed our manuscript for other errors. The resulting changes are minor and do not affect the overall findings or conclusions of the paper; nonetheless, we provide the following corrections by way of reference:

On p. 273, the reference to “3598 users” in the abstract should read “3583 users.”

On p. 275, the term “in vivo” does not accurately describe the coding methods used in this paper and should be disregarded.

On p. 276, the reference to “3598 users” in the first paragraph of the RQ1 subsection should read “3583 users.”

On p. 276, the phrase “less than 11% of participants actually posted original tweets” in the second paragraph of the RQ1 subsection should read “only approximately 11% of participants actually posted original tweets.”

Table 2 should appear as follows:

Table 2 Participation levels in the #educattentats affinity space

Table 3 should appear as follows:

Table 3 Concentration levels of activity in the #educattentats affinity space
