Mastodawn

chris martens Aug 15, 2023

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 A couple of remarks about how I addressed questions that I found ambiguity in:
• I took “Mastodon” to mean any Fediverse software. I run a Takahē server and a Bookwyrm server as well as a Mastodon one.
• Where questions referred to the “Privacy Policy”, and my server has other documents such as a Terms of Use, Code of Conduct, Server Rules, etc., I considered only the literal Privacy Policy of the site and not the other documents.
