This article is an opinion piece in which we argue that social scientists cannot simply port their work from X to #Mastodon or the rest of the #fediverse. There are key differences in culture, expectations of privacy, and of course topology to consider.

Thanks for the feedback! To be honest, I don't mind using another term. I think "platform" as a term is borderline meaningless, given how many different ways it's used:

to describe operating systems
in reference to gaming systems
as a means for someone to speak
as a set of political doctrines
as a reference to specific corporate social media

So feel free to mentally substitute "service" if you like.
