Reposting this because the original post looked sketchy with this url: https://98jj7r.csb.app/
It’s just something I threw together in CodeSandbox, but still would rather this look more legit. From that url:
This poll was featured on hexbear.net on 2022-07-28 from 18:35 to 19:44 UTC. It started with the options of "positive" and "negative" and encouraged users to add their own feedback and rate each option based on how closely it applied to them. Within 5 minutes of posting, a single user was spamming slurs in their username, in their responses, and in their chats. The only votes or responses that were deleted were from this single user, under two separate accounts, both with slurs in their name which can be viewed in the raw data. If not for this user, the poll could have remained open much longer.
I've created this page because the question seems to be gone from the survey on the original page and is giving a gateway error about half the time for some reason.
While I would have liked to get responses from a larger pool of users, I think this poll is emblematic of both how overwhelmingly positive the pronouns feature is viewed by the community as well how vehemently a vocal minority opposes it. I will point out that, while "They don't affect me" was agreed with 19.9% on average, "Negative" was agreed with at only 2.4% on average. So even among the users who don't feel a tremendous need for the pronoun feature, the vast majority were not negatively affected by them.

"Negative" 2.44%
ALRIGHT PEOPLE, GET THOSE MOSINS OUT! WE'RE GOING HUNTING! :stupidpol: :stalin-gun-1::pavlichenko:
:this:
The only other site that has pronouns next to names is LinkdIn and they only show you other people’s pronouns if yours are set, like some kind of weird gender dog whistle
@viva_la_juche your worries we’re correct. The poll was brigaded almost immediately
Still, very positive feedback. I made a point of leaving any votes up for people who didn’t spam slurs, so I expected some good faith annoyances or indifference as well as some smarter trolls to just vote all 0’s and move on. But it was almost universally good
show yourself if you are one of the 47 who has had a negative experience with the pronoun feature, i just wanna talk
Yeah, I just want to have a healthy discussion.
:pit: :maduro-katana-1::stfu-terf:
No, 47 people rated the “negative” option. On average, they only agreed with it 2.4%
I’m one of the 47, I put 0%, I thought I had to put something for every option 😅
It was helpful that you did answer every option. People only responding to the ones they agree with just puts all of them at 100%
I'm a non-voting felon but I support the pronoun tags
Missed the poll, but the pronouns on here helped me realize I'm probably on the NB spectrum, so I must give props
I don’t think it was one of us. After the poll was locked, a couple of them said “kek” and called me a janny. About shows you who we’re dealing with
Going out of my way to spend time on a small niche forum that I absolutely hate :le-pol-face:
A lot of time, too. One of the first things they mentioned was “you shouldn’t have banned me”. They were one of the first people in the poll. Literally refreshing the page often enough to see a newly featured post
