Hi. It would help me a lot if I could get a HEAP of responses to this poll. The goal is to get a decent enough sample so results are predictive of the wider user-base right now. I dislike asking for boosts but this is SCIENCE... or something. (Thanks.)

How do you use Mastodon MOST of the time?

On a phone, or other touch screen device?

OR

On a device with a keyboard like a laptop or desktop computer?

(If it's half and half choose the middle option.)

I mostly use mobile/tablet
60.3%
It's within a margin of error of an even split
19.2%
I mostly use desktop/laptop
19.9%
don't want to vote, but want to see poll results
0.7%

@futurebird No idea. I signed up at the desktop, and then abruptly had a health crisis that has landed me in bed most of the time, and unable to use any device except my phone. So right now I'm stuck on my phone and hating it. No idea how long I will be stuck in this situation. So I *am* using a phone 100% of the time and *intend* to revert to laptop as soon as I can.

@Verdantsquare Hey I have a question about that. When you say that, how literally do you mean it? Like do you mean just "I hope it in my heart and trust my gods will see it there", or do you mean that you will incorporate the well-wished into your regular prayer practice? Here I'm thinking of the Catholic tradition of praying before bed, and wondering how someone who does that keeps track of all the people they promised to pray for - like do they write it down, is there an app...?

@siderea For me, it's the (from childhood) Catholic ritual of night prayers. I keep a list on my phone. Super serious about it.

In fact, this is the first time I ever thought about an app that might handle this sort of thing. MIND BLOWN... lol. But I will check the app store... Be well, friend.

Further update: OMG, there are so many prayer apps, many of them specifically for prayer chains shared among prayer warriors! Capitalism rarely surprises me anymore, but this did.

@Verdantsquare Ha! My job here is done! *dusts hands* Thanks for the explanation - as a therapist, one of the things I do a lot of is help people with executive function disorders find ways to manage information, so they're not overwhelmed trying to keep everything in their memories. Hence my interest - it's not something I'd thought of. If at some point you try out a bunch of apps and develop strong opinions about their comparative merits, I'd love to hear your recommendations.
