Oh hey, I know this guy! He PMed me on Lemmy back in 2023 about a survey for his master's degree. I had no idea he actually went on to publish this document until I came across this post on HN. Great to see that it all led to something!

Do you still use Lemmy/Fediverse? How's your experience been?

Of course, I still use the Fediverse. Mostly Lemmy. I am one of the moderators in [email protected].

My experience so far has been good. I like it there. It is pretty political there, but once you filter them out, it is a small, relaxing community of like minded people there.

But moderation is indeed a problem, so I've been working on a ActivityPub-powered project (so it itself is federated as well) to automate things inside ActivityPub Groups (aka communities).

It's a less shitty reddit by and large. That still leaves ample room for shittiness obviously, but overall it's okay and I'm not going back to reddit.
