@isagalaev The poll is hella interesting from another angle though.

Given how Firefox dominates this poll but occupies a miniscule share of the wider population's browser choice...

You can probably say that #mastodon is social media for the kinds of people who use #Firefox as their primary browser.

@NaClKnight @isagalaev there is probably a significant overlap

MyD

@NaClKnight @isagalaev I was expecting Other to rate higher too. Certainly higher than Safari.

@mysteriousyetdreary @isagalaev Safari is the Apple browser right?

I haven't used a Mac in like 15 years. Do they even allow you to use/download other browsers?

It's a stupid question but i actually don't know the answer. i just hear "Apple = Walled Garden," nod politely, and go about my day

@NaClKnight @mysteriousyetdreary @isagalaev They allow other browsers, but they all have to use WebKit so that the rendering is consistent with Safari, so... Effectively, anyone on an apple device is using Safari no matter what.

With well over 7.500 votes, I reckon that #Firefox is not just the main browser on #Mastodon, but lots of other #FediVerse services as well.

@fasnix @isagalaev Sure! And i contend that THAT fact says something about the fediverse, who is on it, and who is currently served by it.

If that statement intentional, then it's chill. If not, someone should ask why fediverse mostly attracts Firefox users.
