We ( @bkeegan @MattNicholson @blakeley ) are researchers at University of Colorado Boulder conducting a survey about social media platform migration. If you are at least 18 and have used Twitter and/or Mastodon you are eligible to share your experiences with leaving (or choosing not to leave) Twitter and/or joining (or choosing not to join) Mastodon. You can optionally provide your email address to enter a drawing for a $75 gift card. Please boost! Survey link: https://cuboulder.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3BLXjcmBmKpyR2S
Qualtrics Survey | Social Media Platform Migration Survey

The purpose of this research is to explore the factors that lead to and challenges of leaving and joining social media platforms, including federated social media. This research will help us to understand how socio-technical infrastructures are regenerated and remain resilient from influxes of newcomers, in order to inform better designs and processes.

@cfiesler @bkeegan @MattNicholson @blakeley Where/how are you going to publish the results of the study?

@nico @bkeegan @MattNicholson @blakeley Eventually as a scientific paper (where? lots of options!) but probably as a blog post first. In both cases we'll share back here.

@cfiesler @bkeegan @MattNicholson @blakeley Thanks a lot for the clarification. I was wondering, because it might be rather interesting for many #mastodon users to read it, but depending on where you publish, the results might be stuck behind a paywall.

@nico @bkeegan @MattNicholson @blakeley For the most part I don't publish behind paywalls!
