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!

Yeah, this whole thing REALLY rubbed me the wrong way. I'm going to get shit for this, but it comes off as really sexist, racist and - as someone who is neurodivergent - kinda condescending.

Its the same oppression olympics game they always play. They think the more disenfranchised you are the more legitimacy there is to what you are saying.

Calling it oppression Olympics to desire diverse representation is such an astonishingly bad faith interpretation and self report.

it's astonishing how frequently the worst takes on our instance come from kbin federation chuds who don't seem to understand where they are

[–] interolivary@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

So many of the comments just read like "white cishet chud is angry that Beehaw wants to be more diverse". Then again being angry at shit they don't understand is a default setting for white cishet chuds 🤷
