Edit 3: See new post (soon)
Edit 2: it seems the survey was locked, but maybe you can still take it. Just in case I got a screenshot of the results at 301 answers.
Edit: the survey will forcibly lock when it receives 300 responses 😱 (we’re at 287 right now)
Unfortunately, survey software is a cartel on the Internet and they have huge restrictions on free users. I was not aware that questionpro locked surveys beyond a certain point for free users, and we just received an email that they would lock our survey once it reaches that response rate. And of course the only solution is to buy their expensive plan ($1.2k a year).
300 is a very confident amount still, seeing that our monthly user rate is ~350. It just sucks for the people that will not be able to take the survey.
Next time I’m using Google Forms. Google sucks but at least they don’t cap you in the knees like this.
Or if anyone knows open source survey software we can use, that would be amazing 😀 (we also run surveys on ProleWiki sometimes)
You asked for it, now we’re doing it.
This survey will run for around a week, so please take it ASAP!
At the end of it we’ll analyse the results and will finally be able to answer the question that’s on everyone’s mind: is half of Lemmygrad trans?
Disclaimer: all questions are optional, meaning you can skip them if you don’t want to answer. The survey should take around 5 minutes to complete. It asks personal questions, but all answers are anonymous. We do get your country code when you submit your answers, so use a VPN BEFORE you open the survey (but don’t retake the test). Otherwise we really can’t identify you.
If we missed any question or anything is unclear, please post it ASAP so that we can fix it before too many people take the survey.
Let me tell you a story about Western idea of race (my first post on lemmy btw):
Me and a friend from Azerbaijan started our studies in Britain. The school asked us to fill a survey and one of the questions was our ethnicity. My friend is untypically Asian looking and dark skinned for Azerbaijan. But he went and picked “Caucasian” because, well he is literally Caucasian, he is from Caucasia. I on the other hand picked other white as a Turk.
Western ideas of “background”, race etc are not applicable to us.
Preach! We had an exchange student from Azerbaijan in my university group. The guy has blonde hair and blue eyes (and a German surname, which probably explains why). He grew up in Azerbaijan, spoke the language and everything. But you put us two side by side and ask a random passerby “which one is from Azerbaijan and which one’s local” - they’d point at me.
Anglo definitions don’t work for us, never have
“Whiteness” is not a valid ethnic group because there is no such thing as “whiteness”. Being white is a simple label of acceptance into the larger in-group against minorities.
Are Jews, Slavs, Italians, Turks, Hispanics, and so on, white? Until very recently the answer would be no. Even if they were as pale as paper.
Yeah it’s not good. Especially that if you ask for example Poles “what colour you are”, overwhelming majority of serious answers would be “white” and rest something more detailed like “kinda pinkish” plus some jokes. People just don’t get that social construct.
I made my account on lemmy on accident anyway, I’m an honorary grader

kill this man
He’s right I’m the real reactionary 😦
I need more education before I can answer the class thing. I don’t own anything, and I’m definitely not going to be able to retire or get sick, like, ever. But in the short term I am paid more than a lot of workers. 🤷♂️
Well what do you do
