@stefko Hi! Thank you for your research.
I'd like to see an option "not relevant" or "can't answer" for some of the questions (like how well I like the rules or moderation of my instance). I commented this as well but I have the feeling that my answers (and those of other instance admins/moderators/owners) might skew the results if not handled separately ^^'

@jakob Hi Jakob! 😊 I totally understand your concern, and I’ve already received similar feedback. I’m currently discussing this with my supervisor to find a solution. Changing the survey at this point is tricky because it could impact the results.

I’ll definitely keep this in mind when analysing the data—thank you for bringing it up!

@stefko @jakob I had the same problem, and I eventually decided against completing it because so many of the questions assumed I wasn't using my own instance.

The reason I am on my own instance _might_ be relevant to your questions though. I didn't like how casually admins would threaten or actually defederate from other instances over minor infractions (or perceived future problems) and wanted to take control of that processes.

@stefko @jakob A specific example is the number of instances that are already planning to defederate from Tumblr, when they aren't even federated yet.

@joe @jakob Yes, that makes sense to me. I’ve already addressed the issue with single-user instances, admins, and moderators by adding another filter question. Thank you for pointing it out!

@jakob @stefko I think all the questions are optional though, aren't they? So if something is not relevant or you're unable to answer... don't answer it? ;-)
