In the previous poll there was the mention and assumption of 'needing' hugs, and having a shortage. But how many hugs would you -want- is maybe the important question here. On average.

Sorry, running again as 1h isn't fair for timezones.

So we have a serious perceived hug shortage. Luckily, many people are cultivating hug behavior in their friends groups and some are out on the streets helping out strangers and them selves 🎉. Good job!

Not everyone likes hugs though, and we might have these in our friends group, we still might want to support them. How would you handle that?

Vocalize how much we appreciate them even more.

Looking at the results do far, there could be a real and serious hug shortage.

Assuming there is and especially if it applies to you, what tactics are you willing or wanting to deploy to remedy this?

So there is this thing about minimal hugs someone needs... At least 4 preferably 8 or more. [1]

Assuming you like hugs, how many a day are you getting?

I saw @evan post about Inkwell. Basically, it's a way to monetise your Fediverse presence, although I suspect the project devs will say that's not the main objective.

I've opened a 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘣𝘪𝘦 account $5 a month if you want all the whistles and bells.

I would say @andyc would love this.

@steevc it reminds me of #Hive

I'll have a play, but my first allegiance will always be to mastodon.org.uk, it's been more than generous to me. #Hugs
