This survey is part of a #research project led by @__nate__ and me and it is aimed at understanding the reasons that motivated people to using Mastodon, their expectations in doing so and their current experience using it.

This study enquires about the motivations, expectations and experiences of using Mastodon, which will lead to a research agenda.

@ccamara @__nate__ Is the target group of the survey exclusively Mastodon users or are the answers from other Fediverse softwares like Friendica or Misskey also relevant?

@caos @__nate__ I'd say that despite there's more attention to Twitter and Mastodon cases (should you have an account there), there's scope for everything (your survey will be shorter, though)

@ccamara ok, but the questionnaire does not include questions about how people who do not use Mastodon participate in Fediverse. So almost nothing can be meaningfully analysed about this group.
I also have a Mastodon account in parallel (see below), but quite a few people here in #Fediverse don't have one either. @__nate__

@caos @__nate__ while that is completely valid and relevant, I'm afraid it is out of the scope of our research.

Maybe for future research, though 😊
