Hi all! I’m working on my cyber security bachelor’s thesis and am reaching out to gather insights from users who use decentralized messaging applications.

I would be incredibly thankful if you could find the 2 to 4 minutes to fill out the form. Your experience in the matter is incredibly valuable.

You’ll find the survey at https://questionnaire.ink/412758

Your responses are confidential and will be used solely for supporting my thesis. No personally identifiable information is collected.

Thanks!

    Filled it!

    I understand your experiment is already under way, so it is unlikely that you’d be able to change your methodologies at this point. One small feedback on the questions, however. As presented (to me, maybe the system is randomized, I don’t know) the questions felt leaning towards difficult/complex to use, which may lead the user skewing their responses negatively. While this may be counterweighted by the fact that you’re asking a niche community using these systems already to complete the survey, it may still be a good idea to ask more neutral questions and allowing the users to select from a spectrum instead.

    For example; instead of “I find the system unnecessarily complex; Strongly Disagree… Strongly Agree”, it may potentially be better to ask “How do you find the system? Very Straightforward … Very Complex”. Your score for each of the selection would be consistent (1 is less complex while 5 is more complex), but you’re not impressing a negative sentiment on the user.

    Anyway, good luck with your study! Looking forward to your published results!
