       This is NOT the result we were expecting on Twitter... (not that we're complaining)

       @thunderbird Expect something similar for Firefox now that most mainstream users have left

       @thunderbird I first discovered Thunderbird on Linux. It appears on a lot of "best email client for Linux" lists, which I looked at a ton of lists like that as a Linux newbie. When I use Windows, I install Thunderbird there because I am used to it.So, I think the reason for this is that Thunderbird is popular in Linux news/media outlets, and that leads to users discovering it while on Linux and using it more often there.

       @LibreNyaa https://stats.thunderbird.net might surprise you then. That's why this poll result was so unusual.

       @thunderbird Wow, that's very different from what I thought.Maybe it's just that Linux users tend to be more enthusiasts about the software they use on average than Windows users, but even with that that's a very large gap to have that much of a difference on the poll.Even if the users didn't follow your account, the algorithm surely would've brought it to people who use Thunderbird.My brain hurts now.

       @Zergling_man Perhaps you misunderstand. The vast majority of our users are on Windows, yet the majority of people responding on Twitter are using Thunderbird on Linux.

       @thunderbird @Zergling_man I think it's in the DNA of Linux for users to participate better in the community and engagement. Average windows user consumes like someone buying processed food and doesn't consider the ingredients/nutritional value

       @thunderbirdeven if you made the poll on twitter you don't reach an average sample of your users.You reach persons who actively follow an open source project and participate in its polls. I don't think the result is that surprising.

       @tootpaste @thunderbird it's a further indicator that Twitter's algos create filter bubbles. I would suggest recreating the poll here, but anyone who is here is likely very comfortable with GNU/Linux and derivatives and the results would be similar.Also, don't forget to update Thunderbird today. New DSA just dropped.

       Dear @thunderbird Could you please remember captioning your images?Some instances offer automatic #OCR which can help grab any text in your image, though proofreading is still important. You can also follow @PleaseCaption  to be reminded whenever you post an image without captioning it.#captionyourimages​#a11y​#accessibility​

       @thunderbird Why was a kernel named alongside two OS's?You probably should have written systemd/Linux instead.

       @thunderbird Most users that use Thunderbird - Windows. Most users that love and care about Thunderbird - Linux.
