Unlike regular surveys, @cjimenezcruz made it fun by using:
- simple, playful language
- emojis
- an explanation of why engaging the community was important
- a pic of Homer wearing a Maldita.es t-shirt

They got 2645 responses (!), 30% from new users

The plan is to house the 'superpower' data in a database that journalists at @maldita_es can use to quickly find experts who can help them debunk misinformation.
