Hi everyone. I need to get a rough sense of how many people are around #onhere (in this part of the fedi) who might be in the greater NYC region.
I'm in NYC or the greater NYC region
7.4%
I'm not in that region.
86.9%
I will never tell, it is secret.
5.8%

@futurebird Interesting research. Only 7% for NYC, that strongly suggests that you are *not* in the Marvel universe.

@futurebird What counts as the greater region? I'm kind of in the grey area there. Like, I travel to NYC weekly, but time-investment-wise it's a trip most people wouldn't do without a good reason.

What counts has the greater NYC area? Does Connecticut count? How about Rhode Island?
Show threadmyrmepropagandistMar 11

@Quasit

This is about how you perceive it? Basically I want to know roughly what percentage of people in the part of the fedi I encounter might care about local NYC news. These results are about what I expected.

@futurebird How great is the greater NYC...?
Show threadLog ๐ŸชตMar 11
@futurebird I am of the well-thought-out opinion that everyone who lives in New York should know everyone else that lives in New York. They don't have to be friends. Some can even be extremely competitive rivals bearing decades long grudges. And some can be odd couples that somehow work anyway. I think what I'm really getting at is that various television shows have set certain expectations for the city, and it should step up and live up to them.

I wuz in the NYC region for 12 years ending in 1988. (Brooklyn, Manhattan, then Brooklyn again.) Of course, I knew nothing about the Fediverse back then.
I didn't even start using Linux until 1998.
