as a brazilian, i have a few ideas as to why latam participation in the survey was so low and i don't think it has much to do with low linux usage

lemmy isn't very popular in brazil yet, even inside the brazilian fediverse. my current instance is a few months old and it is one of the first brazilian lemmy instances

unlike europeans, the overwhelming majority of brazilians is monolingual. only 5% of brazilians have any level of english knowledge and 1% are proficient. even if lemmy was popular in brazil, most people wouldn't even see the survey anyway

i don't know for sure about the rest of latam (and the global south for that matter), but I'm willing to bet both of these points apply
i didn't know there was a survey or I'd have added a number to the tiny "female" bar. lol
- Why are we treating tiny females as a separate category from normal-sized females?
  
  the bar for females in the results was tiny. that is what I meant.
I'd like to encourage the author of of this to leave the line- and paragraph- breaks in the source text. This is impossible to read as is.
- What do you mean? My markdown source text has no paragraphs? Normally I always use breaks
  
  i think i know what happened: the text looks different depending on the client/interface. i first read it on thunder and it looked fine, but i'm now on lemmy web using the vanilla theme and it looks like this:
