    Things I’ve learned from watching a shameful amount of TikTok, part 1: a) everything is potentially interesting; b) the number of custom furniture makers is unsustainable; c) what; d) Americans are living outside their means (to say nothing about the causes of this); e) I will watch anyone power washing anything; f) dogs; g) why

    @couts I love that this is only part 1

    If offered the chance, would you leave Earth?

    @larand so, that's what "qualified" means.

    https://evanp.me/pollfaq#qualified

    Like, "no, except if the abducting aliens were very sexy", or "yes, unless I have to fly along with Richard Branson".

    Feel free to explain your qualifications in the comments!

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @Andres @larand no, I promise!

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @peladocollado @larand maybe some of the Strong Nos will reply and tell you why!

    @jamesmarshall does jumping? Or going upstairs?

    @kfury undefined! If permanently vs. temporarily would be a factor for you, say qualified yes/no and explain in the replies.

    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @morph maybe, but it won't be my doing.

    The ActivityPub we've built couldn't have happened with an invite-only federation protocol. The only way to build up enough fedizens (beyond true believers like me) to make the network useful and attractive, was to make joining it as frictionless as possible. The network only exchanges messages online, so the potential for harm is limited, and mute/block tools are adequate to mitigate abuse.

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @strypey no it wouldn't.

    You can do the invitation out-of-band. Then, refuse activities that come from outside the network.

    Also, "pub" refers to the publish-subscribe model, not to publishing data. Create, read, update and delete are four activities in the base vocabulary. But there's much more possible!

    I did a talk at MozFest about using AP for dating apps. I think it's a great use case!

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @bhaugen @strypey @cwebber I use the .pub domain a lot, so yes.

    How many times have you left your native country?

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @tokyo_0 @erincandescent OK, but what is the "true meaning" you were going for?

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @blit32 I think "native country" means the one you were born in.

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @tokyo_0 @erincandescent OK.

    You said in order to have any meaning, the poll should count emigration for more than tourism or other reasons to leave.

    And I was wondering what you thought this poll was trying to measure.

    Maybe a proxy for cosmopolitanism?

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @blit32 I mean, it's up to you to decide how you want to respond. Here's the dictionary definition, though:

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @Cassandra either, or for any other reason.

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @tobyink This is the story I made this poll for, and I didn't know it!

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @lightweight I think your native country is the one you're born in. I'd say "home country" for someplace you moved to which became home.

    evan,
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    @TrillionB I was surprised how low the 0 number was.

    evan, (edited )
    @evan@cosocial.ca avatar

    This was interesting.

    First, "leaving your native country" is very fraught with meaning -- from emigration to vacation to business to refuge and asylum. There are a lot of intense feelings in the replies.

    I'm 26+. We moved to Canada about 20 years ago, but I visit California 1x-2x per year, so even without the international travel before I moved, I still clear 26.

    Last, very few zeros! Far fewer than I expected.

    @erictgilmour so many of us live near the US border, though!
