The demographics of Kbin | Survey

https:// take.supersurvey.com /QY50YQKR4

I'm curious about the demographic makeup of Kbin. As we are still in it's infancy I feel that most lean towards a certain way, so I made this survey just now to find out. I encourage you to join in, and you can skip any and every question if you so choose. You can view the results at the bottom of the page.

  • UPDATE: New survey linke: https://forms.office.com/r/Xadjwmt2Gm

    The results also has a cool pie chart that you can look it as well as the data.

  • Education level options are...odd.
    Some college, college degree
    Some graduate school, grad degree
    Etc

  • The results button results in a 404.

    • I'm going to mess with the settings to see if I can fix it ASAP. For now I see if you don't select anything and press 'Skip' and then vote it takes you to the results. Thanks!

      • I don't think it is working for me.

        I'm in Oceania and the results say no one is in Oceania.

      • I clicked vote a few minutes ago and it took me right to the results successfully.

        Using Firefox in case it is a browser thing.

      • Yes your workaround works around this. Thank you.

  • I love how the biggest divider between reddit and kbin demographics is that we seem to actually like Pineapple on pizza.

  • That question about single married divorced widowed, is that how the US still collects demographic data?

    It seems odd, given the choices in other sections reflect modern life more.

    • Yes, I was going to add "complicated" and maybe other options, but ultimately I decided not to but maybe I should? This was a generated question so that should answer your question.

      I think though if it's of interest of people maybe I should. What do you think?

      • Single, married, divorced, and widowed are legal concepts that cover everything that can without being overcomplicated with a million personal preferences and 'complicated' is meaningless without every single unique person's context.

        Or add a separate question about whether they feel their situation is more complicated than that without muddling clear answers on legal status.

      • @Peacemeal12 I wasn't thinking about "complicated" and stuff like that.

        It's just the usual legal category for my relationship in my own country was missing and I was surprised it must be still like that in the US.

    • I agree with you and I live in the US. I've been single for 20 years...but I was married before that so I'm divorced. I guess you can never be single again.

    • Yep, though the single option is often written as single/never married so that it's more clear. We don't have common law marriages (except a few states) so those 4 categories cover every situation, though without much detail.

  • I feel like separating gay and lesbian instead of just saying homosexual is cluttering things up. And idk, bisexuality is a thing?

    Edit: also, political leanings become somewhat nefarious when I don't know if you're speaking in "American terms" or not.

    • Sorry I rushed it out after the first poll locked out. I had bisexual before so I'll add it as soon as I can. I wanted gay and lesbian so people who wish to see the divide can do so I was hoping it wouldn't clutter too much and that's also another issue. I knew making this people would question the western and English speaking biases and whatnot but understand I struggle to reconciliate all the considerations while maintaining the data interesting and useful to look at/ digest

  • Bearing in mind, of course, that there's a lot of biases in your sample. You're sampling the demographics of /m/kbin, not kbin as a whole, and you're primarily targeting English-speakers since that's the language you wrote in.

    4

    • Yeah unfortunately it would be difficult to get a broad census on here. I would've posted in /m/askkbin, but that's explicitly disallowed. The English-speaking bias is a given, and that's why the countries list look the way it does, but kbin is probably vast majority English speaking, frankly.

  • Dang, what a bunch of atheist here... we'll all just burn in Reddit and our torture will be ads and posts about Zuckerberg and Musk. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • It appears to be broken. I selected Australian, but it shows as zero in the results.

    3

    • It is not broken, it just completely stopped tallying. Apparently the free version of supersurvey has a limit of only fucking 25 responses, and of course they do not tell you this until you created an account and already sent out the survey and then asks you to pay $90 a month for this shitty webapp that breaks immediately.

      I'm just going to have to make another survey; what a bust...

      8

  • Race was multiselect but picking more than one answer value did not display in the results. In that case it should've been radio buttons only for that question.

    2

  • Age ranges are skewed. Groups range from 6 - 15 years
