    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".

    Have sat on several horses.

    Pet peeve: "boost for scientific accuracy" - you aren't going to get anything that even slightly resembles a representative sample, even if you look at it through dark glasses after 6 beers.

    I have previously said that any post containing a poll and asking for boosts to improve accuracy must have "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" as one of the poll answers, and I stick by that assertion.

  7. Every #Mastodon / #Fediverse poll that includes the text "boost for larger sample size" should be required to have "Dewey Defeats Truman" as one of the poll answers.
