     Done.
     Allerdings weiss ich nicht so Recht, wie das Thema der Studie mit den Fragen der Studie aussagekräftig sein wird.
     Für mich persönlich gefühlt zu viele geschlossene Fragen. Ist sicherlich auch ein weites Feld, da kommt man wohl ohne Einschränkungen nicht zum Ziel.

     Drücke ihr die Daumen und wünsche viel Erfolg. :)

     @slothrop I took part, but I think the study has very bad questions. Sadly all the Questions are about the local Instance which one, if one is unhappy with, easily can move to a different one. It would be much more interessting to get Questions about other aspects of the Fediverse

     @slothrop Does said student have an account here? The design of the survey seem to suggest, that he*she is not familiar with the structure of the feeds in Mastodon.

     The questions and the stated intent do not seem to align very well.
     I can't see how those questions would explain why there was a drop off of user activity

     Yah. I completed the survey and boosted, because helping other researchers is good.
     I am unlikely to see her paper though, so not going to ever understand how she used those answers. It just struck me that maybe she was exploring a different construct to what was mentioned in the lead page

     @slothrop From the questionnaire, the survey is just about Mastodon, the fediverse is not mentioned so if you use Pleroma or Misskey, you're probably not concerned.
