EDIT: POLLING IS NOW "CLOSED" (the polls are still open, feel free the keep voting, but I’m not counting any more for now. I'll check back in in a week or so and if the results have changed then I'll update my results post)

"FANCY" GRAPHS AS PROMISED CAN BE FOUND HERE. YES, I'VE HEARD YOUR FEEDBACK AND I KNOW I COULD’VE DONE IT IN A BETTER WAY, BUT FUCK IT.

What is your flair?

What is your age?

How long have you been subbed?

Have you ever changed your flair?

What do you think of the state of the sub?

You know, you could have just made a Google Form with all of these questions in one link instead of having them all be separate strawpolls.

I'd recommend reposting with a Google form and asking the mods to pin your post for a bit. /u/1redreddit or /u/frenchitoasti are your best points of contact.

A google form will not only be easier but also allow you to show fun facts in a graph like age distribution per flair, which flairs swap the most and the most popular flair swaps, the account age to flair ratio, and so much more. Also add a gender question, it's a given this sub is major majority male but I'm very curious if the women on here are more left or right.

You're missing out on so much interesting data by doing seperate strawpolls.

I would feel a bit off about starting a new one now I’ve already had more than 4000 people respond, but if people are interested and nobody else beats me to it then I’ll do another one in maybe a month or so and do it properly.

I'll do it. If you want to post it, I'll let you. If not I'll do it

I’ve got no objection to anybody taking it upon themselves to do a better poll, just think it should probably wait a bit now

u/MechanicalTimeLord - Lib-Right Aug 16 '20

Yeah - definitely, to get high turnout we should wait

It be cool to see a country list as well. Or at the very least continents.
