Apologies if I missed one that has already been held. But I saw a member census of beehaw, which was really interesting. I'm not suggesting gathering of any personally identifying info, but more generally getting a sense of who is here on kbin.

The problem is people getting stereotyped based on their nationality etc. There are people in America who support gun rights, while many others support gun control.

People should be grouped based on their beliefs, not which country they are from.

Knowing their demographics doesn't stereotype them - that's a weird leap to make.

Knowing that Americans are overepresented on Reddit doesn't mean you have to assume that all Americans like guns, but statistically that is a population that skews more pro-gun than the average person and so that helps me understand why Reddit also skews more pro-gun.

I'd just personally like to know if there are more Europeans or people from the UK on here. Reddit did skew very American which is absolutely fine, but I'm wondering if a similar demographic migrated here or if certain groups left?
