[CLOSED] the first-ever Beehaw Community Survey!
UPDATE: RESULTS HAVE CLOSED! thank you for your participation—we've received over 1,500 responses which is quite a lot more than we expected. aggregated results and community creation decisions should hopefully come in due time.
hello folks!
with our backlog cleared and many new people around, now's a good time to do our first-ever Beehaw Community Survey--the first of what will likely be(e) many to come. this survey should take no more than 5 or 10 minutes to fill out, so we strongly encourage you to do so when you are able to. you can find it at the following link:
Beehaw Community Survey
the survey is comprised of seven optional demographic questions to help us assess the overall identity of our community and three questions relating to Beehaw and the Fediverse. it also asks you about 17 possible communities we are considering and whether you would actively participate in them if made.
the survey will be open for approximately a week. we'll definitely close it before July 1, so please get your responses in before that date. it'll also be locally pinned for at least the next three days or so, so please mind that. thanks!
results will also be aggregated and posted on here in a summary sometime thereafter. no ETA on that though.
I think they may have tried to account for that because just being curious I clicked to see what survey type it was, It's non-privacy respecting Google by the way, but anyway, the first question is "Do you have an account on Beehaw?" Possible answers, Yes, No, I'm waiting on Approval. I exited because I don't have an account, and even if I did, I don't like having my email account tied to surveys.
I hate Google surveys as well, but this one didn't require an email log-in. Or, at least it didn't from me, and I have zero Google-related cookies in my browser.
It did say something like "sign in to save your answers", but other than that, nothing.
I wouldnt have chosen google for this job and there is lots of other discussion of that in the comments.
I infer from this that your email host is gmail.com and you are already logged in to it in the browser. Without containers or other mitigation. Which is how your answers could be tied to that email.
If so, very strange to be complaining about the privacy of the survey. Your whole life is compromised...
