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.

    Done my civic duty 🗳.

    The only question that tripped me up for some reason was whether I consider myself to be white or non-white. I’m Filipino American, and personally I have a kinda nebulous identity toward race. I suppose I could “pass” as white, but I find myself unsure of identifying absolutely as White or Non-White. I’m not educated in best practices here, but I think a “Mixed” answer could fill the gap well without getting overly specific.

    Seeing the communities list is really exciting! Maybe one day we’ll have the activity to warrant all of them 😄. I have a boatload of photographs I’ve taken over the years but never really got around to posting anywhere. I’ll likely find my ways to sneak them in relevant communities if c/photography doesn’t come around, but if I had to pick One and Only One, that would be mine.
