Compiling this data was not as hard as I expected, let's go through the data and the shiny graphs!
Age of Beeple
Most are above 24! Seems we got an older average age compared to a lot of social media. It would be interesting to see how many came here with experiences from independent forums before Reddit.
Where Beeple reside
This one's a big graph. Though we can notice most people are from the US. Would be nice to see more countries represented though a big part of it likely has to do with language. (You will need to open the big graph in another tab, it's too big to show properly.)
Gender identity of Beeple
So, as expected, mostly men. However, less than expected which is nice to see. There should be outreach to at least equalize this.
Sexual orientation of Beeple
This is kinda surprising. It seems we managed to get a lot more LGBTQ+ people than expected considering most of you all come from Reddit - so this is nice to see. This is most likely because of our focus on a safe space.
Whiteness of Beeple
As expected, mostly white which is unfortunate. I think there's outreach to be done in that regard as well.
Neurodivergence of Beeple
We seem to have a really surprising amount of neurodivergent people! Definitely nice to see.
Beeple with disabilities
I.. have no idea how to interpret this data so I'll just say, shiny graph.
Beeple's awareness of the Fediverse
Most knew about the fediverse but still a good 20% had not heard about it so glad to see you all managed to find your way here!
How Beeple have been dealing with Beehaw
It seems most people feel relatively confident in their ability to use Beehaw and most people seem to enjoy it. That makes me really happy to see. Feels rewarding, feels good.
Conclusion
I wanna thank everyone for the feedback about the survey and its questions - we'll do better next time! I'm glad we did this survey because it shows the areas to work on in terms of outreach! Thank you all for your participation!
It feels really weird like, is someone "lighter" or "white"? Can you show anywhere in a country like you describe where white is used for demographics or are you just trying to make an argument?
I'm aware? You acted like people would choose the wrong choice.
Your "white" class is still the rich minority, so if they fell for the wrong choice, it will still be helpful to show the number of people who are privileged.
You PLEASE look up global colonization and how it effected every culture plz. Don't talk down to me. Your intentions sound like they are to cause trouble not to be helpful.
I am hostile? You spoke to me like I was a fool.
Learn to give the respect you want. Learn to not act like the person you are talking to is a fool.
You need to work on YOUR actions if you do not understand how disrespectful and dismissive you are. You don't get to talk to anyone with disrespect and demand it yourself.
But you're just running around JAQing off and either need to educate YOURSELF or you're an bad actor and I don't have space in my life to figure out if you just never learned to treat others with respect or if you're posting because you're exactly the kind of entitled privileged person we are so sad we have a lot of.
while i get how "Please look up the concept of colorism, which is a form of racism." comes off, you are the only one escalating this and this person was obviously responding to you in good faith and edited their post to clarify their intent. you do not need to be this aggressive
Um, global colonization influenced colorism?
Theyre not refuting that. Theyre asking you to tone it down. You were demanding respect while being very disrepectful yourself.
They were asking questions. They then answered my question (can you show anywhere that 'white' is used in demographics in the area so there would be any point of confusion, because otherwise they are asking the question in bad faith) with reference to educating me, which wasn't the conversation at all.
I am then rude for standing up for what was clearly actually not in good faith or from the sake of discussion?
I thought beehaw was above falling for 'politeness' (i didn't call anyone names at all either, i called out behavior, but i appreciate that this space is already choosing concerned trolling over honest discussion but "just asking questions" clearly is approved of) and allowed bad faith participating but i guess dogwhistles are often missed.
