Dear Fedi friends. I want to make a short #survey to understand who actively uses #keyservers today. I am interested in understanding the meaning and the value that people attribute to keyservers nowadays, and the shift in perceptions of email #encryption 🔑🔒
📊 I will be making several polls (follow the thread!)
💌 I also would be happy if some of you agree to talk with me more in depth over an e2ee encrypted channel of your choice, no need to make a call, just messages are enough
👾 Feel free to share the polls and reach out in comments if you can and want to be part of this study.
👩🏽🎓 If this ever leads to any kind of publication, I will be following the standard ethical protocol adopted in the academic research community, which is to 1. ask informed consent for quoting; 2. quoting anonymously by default, unless the person wants to be named and 3. right to withdraw from the study even after responding to the questions
QUESTION 1: DO YOU USE KEYSERVERS?
- Yes, actively (at least twice a month) (10%, 23 votes)
- Yes, sometimes (at least once every 2-3 months) (24%, 54 votes)
- I have used keyservers in the past but not anymore (37%, 81 votes)
