MODERATORS
 

EDIT: Don't vote on this poll if you don't interact/lurk in this community somewhat regularly. This survey is for those people.

Hi everyone,

I made a survey to better gauge the demographics of this community. I don't have any reason to, just doing it out of curiosity.

I'm glad that everyone felt free to talk about it in detail and have some good discussion on my previous post, but it made it hard to count all those comments up. Someone suggested that I do this to get more accurate results.

The poll ends on April 6th at 11pm. I'll post the results when it's over. You can also view the live results of the poll on the website.

Might make a future one for sexuality. Data is fun, what can I say.

What are your predictions for this poll?

Cis men are heavily outnumbering even binary trans women right now...I think this leaked onto all

Or you may have more allies than you think.

I think polls like this are susceptible to troll votes

a lot of people are on this instance solely for 196 and/or because of v*ush

vaush is a problematic internet debate nerd that a lot of younger baby leftists latch on to.

~~He recommended this instance because 196 had a comm here iirc.~~

His subreddit recommended it during the reddit/spez stuff.

196 also recommended blahaj.zone and they had a big vaush following in their userbase.

Why is vaush problematic? I'm out of the loop

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

He's been known to have chaser-y tendencies, he's been casually misogynistic and racist for the sake of winning "debates", he's been known to defend lowering the age of consent as well as the production of CSAM(child sexual abuse material), and most recently he's been known to collect loli and zoophilic (not furry) hentai.

"problematic" was me being generous.

He's the main reason 196 is so sectarian/"anti-tankie" as he has a lot of fans that post there.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wow and here am I thinking it's common sense to be anti tankie bc of 196

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I (ex tankie) thougt because of the anti takie sentiment in 196 that there were a lot of ppl in general that were againat takies, but this vaush stuff makes a lot more sense

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Ah alright, yeah a lot of anti-tankie sentiment is concentrated online. Other spaces tend to be a lot less sectarian or at least more willing to listen/put aside differences.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I'll definitely avoid that guy's channel.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He recommended this instance

He what?! When did that happen?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I'll be honest I think I confused his subreddit with him.

https://www.reddit.com/r/VaushV/comments/14ny7py/horsefuck_okbv_had_reopened_however_we_reclosed/

The meme group made a com here (it has 331 subs but seems to be mostly dead at the moment)

196 also made a post with lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/196 mentioned

https://www.reddit.com/r/196/comments/146y2qw/r196_offsite_migration_discord_info/

Reddit 196 has(had?) a lot of vaushites in their userbase and so that carried over here.

Ally from all here. Surprised by all the CIS myself.
