@bob no selection bias whatsoever.
@Alonely0 @bob The selection ist obvious for everyone: everybody is active on Mastodon, has seen this poll, and is interested in the topic.
So I can't see any point in your remark to the poll.
@Ulan_KA the point of the remark, I believe, was to humorously point out that Mastodon users are more likely than the general public to prefer using Linux.
@scubbo @Ulan_KA It is a helpful reminder though that Mastodon is somewhat of a bubble for open source and Linux enthusiasts. We're used to the trade off of a few complications and less generalized audience for the sake of privacy and open source ideals. It's not a bad thing either - it's a good reason why Linux distros and open source vendors should be active here. It's a more targeted and useful overall engagement than X/Threads/Bsky.
