For how long have you been on the #Fediverse?

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@NetscapeNavigator Yes, everything I post attracts a „yes, but“ or sealioning reply. I’m used to that. More than 4000 votes seem to indicate that people are OK with the options presented so I guess you are a bit on the pedantic side here

@jwildeboer

The poll is only for fun -- I understand that, but it is not accurate no matter how many people vote.

Because as someone who has been here for 3 years, I could select earthier option since you've given me two choices for the same answer.

@Netscape Navigator I have a huge bag of nits for you to pick

@Jan Wildeboer :krulorange:

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@NetscapeNavigator The poll is serious and you are now trolling. Welcome to my blocklist!

[linux@mivatter.com]

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net

No, @NetscapeNavigator@social.vivaldi.net is right. If I wanted to vote 3 years, which would I pick? 1 to 3 years, or would I pick 3 to 5.

If your poll is serious you made it wrong.

@jwildeboer According to my account, it's been since 1987 🤭

@hans

I have a bag of facts for you, but it's to much for you to swallow.

[patrickoldhiker@ohai.social]

@LaD_Hallo @jwildeboer Same here. When Musk took over, I wiped the contents of my Twitter account and haven't been back. I haven't closed my account to prevent impersonation.

[joskleverwebsupport@toot.re]

@Linux @jwildeboer @NetscapeNavigator Then wait 1 day before you vote and it's 3 years + 1 day, so option 3.

I'm here 3.5 years, so I would have no vote if NN would have created the poll.

[chris@olsberg.social]

@jwildeboer The most important thing is actually that we’re all here NOW!

[elgringomexicano@mastodon.social]

@jwildeboer I made the account in 2023 but never used it, then came back to it in the last few weeks after getting off of almost all other big tech social media. So far the experience is much better and I'm glad to be here now.

[katyswain@mastodon.social]

@jwildeboer Was on identi.ca in 2008, then self-hosted Laconica/StatusNet. Then went to self-hosted Friendica for a few years after StatusNet became "social networking for the enterprise", ran out of IPO money, and imploded.

Then I cocooned for a few years but eventually got a .social account (didn't think that through) in 2021, with a shiny new name and gender (as is the Fediverse custom). And found things really haven't changed much.

[rayotron@mstdn.social]

@NetscapeNavigator @jwildeboer

Netscape's right. In the English language 1 to 3 years implies the inclusion of every day of the third year up until the 4th.

[ladynorris@mastodon.art]

@Linux @jwildeboer @NetscapeNavigator

People who have been here for exactly three years can't decide what to vote for :

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@jwildeboer I've always beem here, since time um.. inmemory (or something)

[ticklishhoneybee@twoot.site]

@jwildeboer depends how you count it really, I was on identi.ca fifteen plus years ago or whenever it was, took a break while it was constantly changing and evolving (status net, gnu social, etc) and then came back to mastodon/activitypub a few years ago.

[antonio106@ottawa.place]

@jwildeboer yeah, I think mine is 5 years with a big asterix. I checked it out in covid, got really confused and bored, and left multiple times to go back to IG/FB/Twitter.

I go here when I don't want to be overstimulated on the corporate social media sites, which could be once a day or once a quarter depending on my mood.

[jigmedatse@social.jigmedatse.com]

@jwildeboer Making me feel old...

[unattributed@gotosocial.social]

@jwildeboer My Mastodon profile says 2019...but I suspect that might be my second account as I switched handles and wanted a clean account...probably around 2017 or 2018.
