CommunityData:Fediverse research
From CommunityData
We are currently collecting data from the Fediverse, a collection of decentralized social networks (DSNs).
The purpose of this project is for academic research on DSNs. Our work is non-commercial in nature and aims to collect only public records in compliance with system norms.
Some examples of research questions we are working on include:
- What are the effects of de-federation events on activity and toxicity?
- How do people on the Fediverse use data portability affordances?
