Our research team at Northeastern University is conducting a survey to better understand how Mastodon administrators craft, select, modify, and maintain privacy policies and codes of conduct. If you administer an instance and are 18 or older, we'd love to hear from you! We expect it to take under 20 minutes to complete.

@chrisamaphone If you think my input matters, don't put the survey on a hostile anti-privacy website.

@nik do you mean Qualtrics? it's widely considered the industry standard for collecting privacy-sensitive data for rigorous studies. is there an alternative you'd recommend instead?

Einige davon wie Cryptpad Forms und LimeSurvey sind auch Open Source - Ein Überblick. #Onlinebefragung #Daten #DSGVO #Nextcloud #CryptPad #Linux https://gnulinux.ch/es-muss-nicht-google-forms-sein-online-befragungen-dsgvo-konform-und-open-source

@datendetektivin @LimeSurvey @caos @nik thanks! I unfortunately can’t read German but I’ll see what I can get out of this - i’m interested in seeing the case against Qualtrics laid out explicitly since this is the first i’m hearing of folks being unhappy with their practices.
