UPDATE: RESULTS HAVE CLOSED! thank you for your participation—we've received over 1,500 responses which is quite a lot more than we expected. aggregated results and community creation decisions should hopefully come in due time.

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.

Yes, sounds great this way :)

I guess depending on the audience (i.e. their knowledge on sex/gender) you could ask if someone identifies as cis, trans or otherwise in #2.

Not sure how to best include intersex people though, maybe someone else has an idea? Because they could potentially identify either as cis, trans or neither and in question #1 there also isn't room for this?

Ah jeez apologies yeah the first question is supposed to have intersex as an option along with other, was typing up quickly and forgot to add. It's a weird space because in medicine we usually ask about assigned sex at birth as well, so it can vary how it's presented. Sometimes they'll explicitly call out 2s, hijra, etc if it's a big enough population or for like a LGBTQ clinic. I don't think we need to go into that much detail
