CryptPad: end-to-end encrypted collaboration suite

To get an idea of this community, and to try the cool CryptPad Survey feature, I created a pretty big Linux usage survey!

The data is anonymized and the content encrypted on the server. I plan on publishing the results.

Have fun!

It works on hardened Firefox on a phone, but the experience is better on a PC.

live results

Notes

  1. I am very sorry but the question “it is okay that my above message gets published” cannot reasonably be respected, as the text is just dumped into a single block
  2. Lag caused some empty questions to appear, removed
  3. A question about disk encryption and “why do you use other OS” got mixed up
  4. i changed the wording of some questions or added more options, so there may be duplicate old answers or too little new ones. You can edit your submission and update your answers.

    What is your gender?

    What is your / your families income?

    Do you have a special brain?

    Yeah this survey is super inappropriate and offensive. Please do not ask such personal questions.

      I think these questions may be, depending on the context, but I’m willing to assume that these are not intended to be. If they come from a legitimate wish to better understand the community without prejudice, then these questions are acceptable to me. It’s also a standalone poll, self reported and with no tie to any identity.

      But maybe I’m unique in thinking that these questions may have circumstances in which they are acceptable?

      The way I thought of that, as someone with a special brain (autism) is that rather than just knowing things like experience and what they use/like/dislike/etcetera, it’s also good to know a breakdown of what groups of people are using Linux/answered the survey. At least there was an “I’d rather not say” kind of option in case you don’t wanna give up that information.

      Every of these questions is optional and has a “not saying anything” answer.

        That doesn’t make it any less insulting and hurtful. You are asking for deeply personal data.

        No I am honestly curious as I have the feeling there are tons of people with ADHD and Autism in the Linux community, myself included.

          If it was acessability survey it would be OK, but this is a general one.

          I get where you are coming from, unlike this one in a enterprise and education context I think anyone should refrain from asking something that personal unless it’s strictly necessary.

          Waiting for the results, keep it up!!!

            Why not be brave and ask questions? People fill them out voluntarily and anonymously, no one is harmed

            The questions are optional, valid points but I think they make sense.

            I added a note

      Yeah this survey is super inappropriate and offensive. Please do not ask such personal questions.

      Did you notice that more inappropriate questions appear and disappear based on your previous answers?
