16? 😳that's quite a low number considering there's thousands of Mastodon admins.

@BeAware these were deep qualitative interviews/not quantitative analysis; it was accepted into the most competitive/prestigious tech conference on the planet; perhaps read the paper prior to posting critiques?

Sorry, I didn't think someone doing research would be so sensitive to criticism about their research techniques.

I'll keep that in mind for the next time I see someone making a research paper based on less than 1% of the real analytics.

BeAware :fediverse: reshared this.
