Hi folks,

Earlier today I had a really nice chat with Jana about decentralised social media, self-moderation, the balance between free speech and moderation, and how to handle misinformation online and in society in general.

Since Jana is new to Nostr, it was also a chance to talk about how it differs from platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky.

She asked me whether other Nostr users might be interested in participating in her study, so I’m sharing her call below. If you have 30-40 minutes for an interview, here’s a great opportunity to contribute to research on a space that’s dear to many Nostriches.

We from the University of Bamberg (Germany) are conducting an academic study on decentralized social media (e.g., Mastodon, Hive, Lemmy, Bluesky or others) and how misinformation is addressed on these platforms. We are looking for participants for a 30–40 minute online interview. All information will be treated confidentially and used solely for academic research purposes.

Interview Focus:

- How users perceive and respond to misinformation on decentralized platforms

- The role of community governance and incentive systems in tackling misinformatiom
