#Introduction: Join me in an experiment to map the happiness levels of the Fediverse. Once a day I post a poll asking a simple question: how happy are you?

Hopefully we'll be able to use the data to answer some big questions. Are we happier on holidays? Does Valentine's Day make us happy? What about weekends?

Let's find out.

Please follow this account, boost the polls and check back to get the analysis. (I share the raw aggregate data so you can do your own analysis too)

Almost all the servers on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse are run by unpaid grassroots volunteers that pay their server's bills out of their own pockets.

They don't sell your data or carry advertising, and they don't get any share of the donations given to the Mastodon etc software developers.

Please consider donating to your server admin, they usually have donation links on your server website's "About" page. You can also ask your admin directly about how to donate.
