What language do you speak best?

@rauschma
I have two native languages though

[rauschma@fosstodon.org]

@irina More than one native language, nice! Checkboxes would work well in some ways, but you’d also get the wrong impression that there are more people. That is, I hadn’t even considered using checkboxes, but I don’t see either approach as a clear winner.

You checking “English” would work, too, I think.

@rauschma I'll put in a vote for English. ... boring!

I've noticed a psychological bias with surveys like this though. I wonder what it's called. It must have a name. People generally only participate in social media in general, but also in surveys like this, if they can make themselves seem more interesting. It applies even if a survey is anonymous, because that's the mode we're in when doing quick fun interactions on social media. If you have a boring response, you're likely to not bother.

@harry_wood This is not scientific for sure! I’d also guess that French and German people are more likely to boost it.
