Comment on I want to study the Fediverse

I would be interested in any findings. If you just post here again in the future, that’ll probably be good enough.
This particular intersection of such a sweeping range of “hard” and “soft” sciences has always fascinated me, I feel like really wrapping your head around it requires proficiency in such a wide range of skillsets that it’s almost prohibitively difficult to pursue.
But if we’re going to understand it, we don’t have much of a choice.

To be honest, setting such a goal is scary to me, I have been working on my self-confidence, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it a few years ago. I try to remind myself that I am an autistic with ADHD: if I had food, meds, a bed, a place to study, and the frequent affirmation of a similarly interested peer group I would be happily studying 12 hours a day.
Super Crunchers seems like a good place to start, it’s a book about how quantitiative analysis can be used for social sciences.

Fear is appropriate, being aware of it indicates a healthy amount of EQ. I think this will be an asset during your path.
