Forgive my ignorance. I am surprised that you read Fediverse streams in a TTY. Would you elaborate?

@maugendre

Sure! I post and read fedi from the tut client. :)

That said, main reading is between phone, tablet (iPad at moment, but planning to escape that system),and computer. prefer computer or phone at this point.(linux distribution for computer)

@maugendre My answer here ("other phone or tablet") is an outlier: I do at least 75–80% of my Fedi reading on a Windows laptop. Maybe more like 90%. But the poll asked for "right now", and happened to hit one of the 10–25% of the time that I was doing it on my phone.

@maugendre i suspect you'd get better granularity if you swapped iphone for android

I wondered about that too.
Maybe i'll swap next time.

@maugendre Wow, I didn't know I was in such a small minority.

@modulux
The share of Windows is reduced thanks to:
* the poll starting on a Sunday;
* many Mastodon users having left to more normal platforms.

I think.

Show threadDave WMay 4
@maugendre posted a similar poll myself with the intent of comparing here to Threads. I like to think we’re more technical and thus desktop platforms will be more popular but we’ll see. It is a constant surprise to me how many people have completely replaced desktop with smartphone, my partner included.

@dave
Thank you for sharing.

I also did not expect that so many people would have completely replaced desktop with smartphone or tablet.
I have come to accept it (and thus rationalize it).
