@jdp23 @admin @mastodonmigration this is an excellent roundup of polls, but it still has no significance as all the samples were self-selected. (I’m not a polling expert, but that’s my understanding) But ultimately it doesn’t matter anyway, because one of the nice things about the fediverse is people can choose their instances, including running their own, and instance operators can make their decisions without need the permission of anybody.
@J12t Agreed on the limitation of polls. All we know is that the people who have seen these polls (one of which was on the top of the explore page on most instances) and care enough to vote in them are mostly, although not exclusively, in favor of blocking.
And I also included anecdotal information that aligns with it.
So there's two different non-conclusive pieces of evidence that the conversations you've been having aren't representative, and an explanation of why.
