#citizenresearch — Public Fediverse posts

Community member 'Kat Allison' made a post about the deepest of deep dives into the history of a seemingly trivial phenomenon: a footbridge over a suburban freeway south of Minneapolis. At the same time, an amazing piece of citizen research and reporting on a bit of pre-internet local history.

Another #TwitterMigration item related to #CitizenResearch - is the much more limited search feature. I'm still a newbie but from some tests and what I've read, search seems focused on #hashtags, and seems limited to a few days (and local server?)

The ability to search Twtr for raw open source data shared by citizen researchers (and often my own forgotten tweets) was invaluable. Not to mention quickly viewing news highlights (it was like a personal curated google). This seems like a gap.

I've been pondering a #TwitterMigration item re: quote tweets & #CitizenResearch

Twitter researchers have been discounted for spreading assumptions & conspiracy theories. But twitter is(was) invaluable for sharing open source data on niche topics. Quote tweets link related threads and visually display info (like footnotes).

Without quote tweets I wonder if sharing data will be more challenging here. Curious to hear thoughts on this.

@mike_hales by the time I got to the end of the presentation I could definitely see why you propose that the P2P/ commons movement is the "third movement", it definitely represents a turn towards #CitizenResearch and #CitizenScience, just as much as it does a participatory approach to software development or design. #Wikipedia is the archetypal early example, but there are so many others, like #SourceWatch, #Appropedia, #PlantsForAFuture, even more rebellious sites like #Erowid.
