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.

    The internet is American based. International Internet in particular. It is because of American cultural dominance combined with the fact that English is basically the lingua franca of the world, and the largest English speaking population is in the US, so when people step outside their native language's Internet, they enter an extremely US dominated space. This then reinforces the cultural dominance because people learn about the US so that they can talk about it, but they don't learn about other countries so they can't engage with them. So it's kind of a positive feedback loop.
