Niggle: it's not research, but it could be interesting #anecdata. Just don't read too much into it.
I've said a few times that all Fedi posts containing polls that say "boost for better sample" (or "research" here, similar) should be required to have one of the response options be "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN".

@cazabon@mindly.social @shoq@mastodon.social That word “research” threw me off too. I know a lot about survey research, sample quality, and statistical analysis for scientific research. Based on the real requirements for research, I’ve never met anything other that junk surveys and polls anywhere except the rare scientific paper.
