If you have a Mastodon account as well, it has the bookmark feature, so in a pinch I can bookmark by boosting and then switching to my Masto account and bookmarking it there. You just need to follow your kbin account from your Masto account.
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
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.
I think collecting the stats on it first is probably a big part of why we slowly changed our laws to give them all the same rights - when we saw how many people were being affected.
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 don't think so? I'm struggling to think of how it would enhance human rights. Isn't it the same as regular marriage without the trip to the local court? I always thought other countries had it as a penalty so that couples couldn't use cohabitating but not getting married as a tax loophole.
It's a human rights issue because of things like property law, adoption, next of kin rights. Sometimes people (often women) can be left financially vulnerable, especially if children are involved, if their relationship is not recognised under the law.
Couples don't get tax advantages over single people where I live either, so that part's a non issue.
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!
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...
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.

Yep I've been carefully looking, even when creating this one! They got me good, I'm actually surprised there isn't a free alternative webapp out there for such a simple concept. That is definitely something that I will develop myself in the near future. But so far I found one that has allows to share the result page. So I'm working on it!
(For reference, I have accounts on Lemmy, Mastodon, and Calckey Firefish.)
I’ve thought about getting a /kbin account. Hesitated since there’s a wider network of Lemmy instances and they interoperate anyway. But /kbin is cool too.
If I didn’t already have multiple Mastodon accounts I might be more interested in getting a /kbin due to that microblogging feature. It seems like a neat idea, combining the two. I dunno how federation works though.
I actually don’t mind the term “magazines” that much but it is a little annoying when I have to explain the threadiverse to people and I have to keep saying “communities/magazines”. That said part of the reason I don’t mind “magazines” is that “community” is already a common noun for certain things I often want to refer to while “magazine” is not.
Regarding not seeing old posts: My trick is to just browse the community/magazine on its home instance, if I specifically am looking for stuff from that community/magazine. Then if I ever need to comment I just throw the fediverse link into my own instance’s search bar.
(See how I need to say community/magazine? lol, i could use “subreddit” but I don’t want to refer back to Reddit, heh)
Also it took me some time to figure out the difference between local links and fediverse links. I learned the following:
basically all content can be viewed in two ways: through my own instance or on its native instance (the “real” location)
only fediverse links can be looked up by things like Mastodon instances
if a user from instance A posts to a community on instance B, then that post will show on instance B’s community, but the “real” location of the post is actually on instance A
if I’m looking at a post in its native instance, I don’t get the fediverse link (which on Lemmy is a little fediverse icon). so if I see that icon it’s actually hosted somewhere else
@GlennMagusHarvey Thank you for amazing comment, Yes Magazines aren't a to bad of a name for Subs / Communities and as time goes on I get used to it. I do like how I get a button at the top of a magazine if it's not native to my Instance what does make it a lot easier to get to the original media.
I've heard of Calckey Firefish a few times now, not sure it's any good or what sort of 'Alternative' sort of platform it's trying to be, or even if it's trying to be an alternative. I hope you are enjoying the Fediverse as much as me.
As I understand it, Firefish/Calckey is a fork of Misskey, and both are microblogging so I presume they’re Twitter-inspired but it has a much richer feature set so I’m not really sure of its “inspiration lineage”. Maybe it’s a clone of something else but I just don’t use social media enough to know.
Also, I just realized I actually have a Misskey account rather than a Firefish/Calckey account. I’m that clueless lol
But yeah I’m definitely enjoying the fediverse. It’s proving to be both a useful place to find info and a fun place to just hang out and chat!
@GlennMagusHarvey Thank you, Yeah I luckily get Microblogging through Kbin. So I think I will keep using Kbin especially with the future developments they hope to add in.
Usually when you see an uncomfortable bench it is made like that so people dont sleep on it. What could be worse than someone sleeping on a bench. Its called hostil design or something.
Hostile architecture, yup. Nothing better than the one-two punch of poorly accommodating people's sitting needs while simultaneously ensuring the unhoused have to suffer even more!
Not to mention what all these "creative designs" do in terms of making some of these benches basically unusable to people with certain physical or sensory disabilities.
