[email protected] - ARE YOU A TANKIE? - informal poll results ~

😱

A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

ARE TANKIES TAKING CONSPIRING TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BAD TIME ON LEMMY.ML ??

HEXBEAR.NET

DOES THE WORK FOR YOU!!

WE ASKED [email protected] ARE YOU A TANKIE?

First stack of pie charts shows the yes / no split, highlights that the lemmy.ml yes responses made up less than half of the yes votes, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml only made up a small portion, some hexbear-ians even vote no
second and third pie charts show the yes votes, and no votes by instance respectively
third stacked pie chart shows the yes / no split by instance, overlay-ed with the total yes / no votes

only top level comments were counted
tankies are closer than they appear
Deeply unserious

this was fun, thanks for the polling idea, Kristina (I spent too long on these charts because yours looked so spiffy, I hope you specifically are impressed lol), solidarity cleaning that data up, and general reminder people only half read anything before launching into a diatribe

tl:dr yes, tankies are totally conspiring to make sure you have a bad time on lemmy.ml

      I downvoted because after staring at it for 15 seconds I still had no idea what data it tried to transmit or what the message was. It’s just a bad infographic.

              Thanks, TIL! (Also, while you explained it well I still took so long to understand. Guess I’m having a slow day 😅)

        Imagine being mad you can’t understand a pie chart divided into two colours, imagine being mad at a joke. Have we all forgotten this is [email protected] ??

        I literally made charts detailing that the majority of responses said they were tankies, and then I provided you the details.

        Downvotes are for rule breaking content, not for covering your big feelings.

          You’re wrong about that. There’s the report button for that.

          By the way, I did not down-vote you, but about the criticism towards your work, yes, the info-graphics isn’t well done, because you crammed all that in one single image. I was able to read it, but it was painful.

          Another concern is the small dataset. It is in two digits, which isn’t a proper representation of the general consensus.

          I’m not mad, I just tried to understand the meme and after a fair effort I didn’t, so I downvoted because it was a poor meme.

          I’m sorry the downvotes hurt your feelings.

          For rule breaking content there is the report function.

          Why are there like four sections each labeled “yes” and “no” with no other distinguishing information?

            ya it’s kind of poor labelling in OP’s part. Those are supposed to be “answered by uses that are not from hexbar/lemmygrad”, I also don’t know why the lemmy.ml vs others get their own ring instead of combining with the inner ring, it’s not like you can be in both instance at the same time as a single user.

              Are you a tankie:

              No: 40.5
              No: 37.9
              No: 30.2
              No: 37.8
              Yes: 65.2
              Yes: 50.1
              Yes: 23.1

              I made up the numbers but this is not how pie charts work.
