Hi fedi friends! A recent conversation made me wonder about something, so I'm posting a 100% Scientifically Accurate Fedi Poll ™️ to find the answer.My hypothesis (see? very scientific!) is that trans people are more likely to have grown up with "social games" rather than "social media." To define those terms a bit, "social media" in this case refers to online platforms where the primary goal is to connect people with a larger social graph via the internet. Any other features are secondary. "Social games", on the other hand, means anything where the primary goal is to offer gameplay and a secondary goal is to connect players in a social capacity. Some examples:- Facebook: social media- Reddit: social media- Instagram: social media- Fediverse: social media- any MMOROG: social game- Club Penguin: social game- WebKinz: social game- VRChat: social gameThis is not an exhaustive list, of course. For anything not listed please use your own judgement. You're free to ask if not sure! You can also consider offline social media / games, if you feel that's more applicable to you. Just please keep in mind the "social" part!Now for the actual poll: "which did you first experience - social media, or social games?" I'm opening this to trans and cis people because I want to draw a comparison. Anyone is welcome to vote!Please boost for visibility - I'd like to get a wide range of answers.#Poll #Trans #Transgender #SocialMedia #OnlineGames #RPGs #Gaming

@fEmber (if you disclose your hypothesis, you subconciously prime the responder to either take an affirmative view or a challenging view, influencing the responses)

@kaia@brotka.st true, but I'm not really concerned with accuracy for this. If I was, then I would have put a lot more thought into how things are worded. This is just for fun!
