The study talks to 16 Mastodon admins who got to say what they thought Mastodon did. It’s not really a study, it’s just a survey. Being posted here is just confirmation bias. For Mastodon to increase citizen empowerment, there has to be something measured and a control group that isn’t on Mastodon.

Well, maybe you subscribe to the wrong subs on the wrong instance?
Alternately: a 1 hour old account may not be entirely truthful about why they were banned
