inb4: I'm a fed.

So according to Jeff Bezos, 100% of chapo.chat visitors are in the US lmao (and 30% are coming directly from reddit).

Would there be tool we could use to have more information about the sociology of your average chapo (age, profession, ...), like an online poll or something? Like, a way to do it that would guarantee some degree of privacy regarding the handling of individual information people would voluntarily disclose?

I guess the admins could already share some stats on the usage of the different pronouns flairs. Some stats about the number of active users depending on the time of day (apart from the obvious peak at 4:20 in Moscow) could also be interesting.

    I'm a neoliberal soccer mom from the suburbs of Detroit, I voted for Ted Cruz and Jeff Bezos in the last election.

    But for real, fuck no. We shouldn't do the work of the feds for them. Fingerprinting people just based on their browser add-ons is already way too easy. The only statistics I might be interested would be something like the spread of different leftist tendencies on the site, and even then the only benefit would be for my own curiosity and it wouldn't actually help in any material way anyone except the CIA. Better if we spread that information through struggle sessions and 5000 word essays, the interns in Langley will get bored half-way (just like me) and give up.
