Apologies if I missed one that has already been held. But I saw a member census of beehaw, which was really interesting. I'm not suggesting gathering of any personally identifying info, but more generally getting a sense of who is here on kbin.

Magic skeleton covered in meat and powered by lightening. The connection between the world inside my skull and other's worlds is very hindered by my inadequate usage of my meat-flaps. If I could get my meat flaps to work better perhaps I could share my inside world more accurately

lightening

Shine bright my friend

Magic skeleton is great, reminds me of:

You’re a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust; what do you have to be scared of?

I am a meat popsicle

41-year-old cisgender female pagan who is still working on her introduction for Mastodon since last fall and so isn't well, great at answering census still.

Nice to meet you! Not sure if you were part of witches vs patriarchy on reddit but I miss that subreddit.
Never used mastodon, starting to think I should make an account as I've abandoned dmy twitter

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I loved witches vs patriarchy! Would be cool to have a similar place here maybe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would! I'm not the right person to start it so hopefully one crops up organically.

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

Yeah me neither, I'm not a practising witch so it doesn't feel like my place to start that community

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly, I was more of an appreciator!

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

I lurked a bit on witches vs patriarchy from time to time, but I was always more into frivolous things on Reddit. I'm keeping my eye open for witchcraft and feminism boards here to lurk on, though. I'm on witches.live on Mastodon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I'll have to keep an eye out too

Cis-male, heterosexual, sexually defiant meat-popsicle on drugs and playing video games, checking in.

Edit: Meant deviant, not defiant. I mean i guess either works, but the intent was more of a "Eh $20 is $20" deal.

Damn, dude captured 50% of the server demographic right there with one sentence.
If you'd also said you had posted this using GNU/Linux, it would have been 100%

Canadian. Mostly here for politics, news and sports.

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

Hey, it's me, your southern cousin. Here for news, politics, and sports. Also video games but that may be implied on an internet forum...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice to meet you both. News, politics, games and the climate crisis, unfortunately don't share a love of sport!

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

Throw in climate stuff for me too. I don't get too into it, because it's easy to doom spiral about the worthlessness of individual effort in the face of corporate giants, but still a very clear issue.

Maybe fusion does eventually take off? Lol

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

From my perspective personal responsibility matters regardless of what other people/companies/countries are doing. It may be a small effort, but you will show other people that making change is possible.

But yes, I'm there in the doom spiral!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lmao the spiral consumes us all at one point or another.

I'm a hot milf in your area.

I'm a human being residing on planet Earth, and I'm composing this message in the English language.

What interesting things did you find from beehaw census?

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

Am definitely human.

One of the benefits of having an online persona is not being put in a box (of any description).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is true, I was only curious from an anonymous and general perspective, but it's great to read more about people here through comments

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh my god, are you me?!?

I think people's interests/hobbies are much more interesting than there gender/country etc. Like:

I'm American, I like Aquariums, "Pro" Wrestling, NASCAR, veggie gardening, Jesus, and a plethora of other things. On politics, I skew center and I know a lot of people on these platforms hate that, but as Popeye says, I yam what I yam.

Are you a dog person or cat person?
Do you think video games are too violent?
Do you believe in alternative medicine?
Toilet seat up or down?
Do you like beans?

Dog
No, parents should just learn how to be damn parents and monitor what their kids do.
Not really, I'll try it but I don't think it works very well.
Toilet seat all the way down, seat and lid.
Depends on the beans, I mean there are a hundred or more types.

For example, in real life I don't think I've ever heard anyone express the opinion that it's acceptable for the general public to own and carry firearms in their day-to-day life

This post was right, it's an American thing, and sure not all Americans, but for some of us to get a license to carry we have to have a photo taken, our fingerprints taken, and pay a fee every year.

TP fold vs. scrunch.
Both socks first, or one sock one shoe at a time.
Shirt buttoned from the top or bottom.
Innie or outie.

Fold, you scrunchers are using too much paper and that's environmentally bad. Get a bidet everyone.
Socks first, then shoes.
You should button it from the top.
Innie

Is your homepage /sub or /all?
Is this your first Fediverse site?
What theme do you use?
Do you prefer app, desktop or mobile site?
What deadly sin do you think should get a pass?

I tried all, but it was full of the same thing from a dozen different instances, so I switched to sub.
No, I tried Diaspora for a while, and if I remember that was some form of fediverse.
I'm rocking Toykyo theme right now, but usually dark.
Desktop. Desktop is the superior experience for most things, you can't change my mind.

Hey! I'm a 23 year old trans woman. Mostly here for talking about videogames, game dev, music and being queer. :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There's an /m/GirlGamer group here. A bit quiet right now, but I post in it at times.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh cool I didn't know! That was always such a nice community on reddit ^^

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I am the very model of a modern Major-General. I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral. I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical, from Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical.

Over on Mastodon, the custom is the "(hash)introduction" hashtag for things like this.

Not sure what that custom ought to be on Kbin, Lemmy and similar, since everything has to be assigned to a magazine.

Maybe a (hash)introduction microblog post on /m/random?

Or someone could set up a magazine specifically for introductions, because magazines are kind of like the "main" hashtag that a piece of content would be associated with, but that seems like overkill.

... Anyway I just did a search (here) on kbin.social and it seems like there are already a few uses of that hashtag in various magazines, presumably where people feel most comfortable or where their account is going to be used. I can imagine some people might have different accounts for different magazines. Whatever works for them, I guess.

If you want your census, that might be a place to start. As for participating, I'll probably do the hashtag on /m/random at some point. Eventually. When I'm ready.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I guess I could adjust the rules on /m/namethefediverse? Or we could just make an /m/rollcall magazine.
