@cassolotl that was interesting, thanks! I wonder about the demographics of particular instances as well. Also if you are thinking about doing this again I'd be happy to help you with Japanese.

@Eve Ahhh, thank you, that's good to know! :) I will make a note.

@cassolotl Thanks a lot for the work that you did. It's very interesting, although like you said it's probably biased by who you are and managed to reach on Mastodon. I'd love to see an initiative such as yours on a larger scale (can I dream 6000 ? 1% of our population !).

I didn't get the part about ethnicity though, what you meant about Mastodon being whiter than Twitter. Why is that very useful information ?

@cassolotl really interesting results! and also very very useful, thank you so much for doing this (and very glad to have been part)

@jasminehenry You're most welcome, and thanks for your participation. :)

@cassolotl This is pretty interesting.
It'll be crucial to keep in mind the demographics and be cognizant of the echo-chamber.

Since people are joining Mastodon often through their own social networks, think of how many of us are likely speaking through intersecting layers of privilege. "Like recruits like": Supermajority male, and super SUPER majority white.
And interestingly, on the other end, certain minority communities: many queer folk involved (nearly 10% ace!).
