Mastodon #research π
Ever wondered what keeps federated platforms like Mastodon thriving?
My thesis is now officially available: Sustaining Decentralised Social Platforms β Analysing User Activity and Governance Structures on Mastodon. If you're curious, give it a read!

Special thanks as well to my supervisor @cypherhippie for the guidance throughout.
I hope it inspires you!
@alberto_cottica Hi!
If you want to I can send you my thesis to clarify all your questions. The user activity variable is measured by the amount of time a user spends online on Mastodon.
Yes, not all the boxes represent variables. Engagement, Governance Structure and Technical Infrastructure just represent the 3 main categories, but they themselves were not measured with the user activity. Yes, I guess I could improve the colouring. Thanks, for the tip! :)
