Gregory's ServerVery interesting. Looking at the numbers so far, despite Apple's control of about 15 to 20% of market share of the mobile phone market, they represent half of all users answering this poll.
Interesting indeed.
Input, anyone?

 @iuculano Based on facts. A key market, e.g., India, with an overwhelming 98 percent Android population and the second or 3rd largest internet market in the world. Zero traction in the place. It's a country of mobile-first users and always hungry to try out new social networks. There is complete disinterest in it for most.  @jayesh interesting. But if they're so hungry for new social networks, why the disinterest in Mastodon? @iuculano Now this is expanding beyond the simple asked question into territory only the foolish will try and answer. The question originally was "why is iOS higher in usage here vs. Android which is the dominant world OS". Since i work with mobile metrics off and on, i answered only based on observed facts. Now for motivation- I am not going to try and speak for nearly 800 million users on why they do not want to use it. @jayesh @iuculano https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5b/ee/ae/5beeae7addad62fa048771c7ac9c70db.jpg  Two conclusions I draw from that: * The demographic "people who are likely to read Kev Quirk's posts" is highly unrepresentative of the general population * The subset of that who choose to answer this poll, are self-selecting and therefore motivated by a particular answer and therefore unrepresentative of the former demographic @bignose so, conclusion: there's a built-in bias. @bignose I understand. I was just pointing out that polls such as these are meaningless, as they can be manipulated to mean anything one wants them to mean :)  |
@iuculano @kev The skew towards iPhones is probably because Mastodon users are cooler than average people and have much better taste.
