A tale of two polls.
First, on Mastodon. Second, on xitter. My idiosyncratic catchments in both applications.
Same question:
Overall, the United States __________ to COVID between March 2020 and July 2021.
On Mastodon, 2% choose "overreacted", 81% choose "underreacted", 17% choose "responded about right"
On xitter, 22.5% choose "overreacted", 40.6% choose "underreacted", 36.9% choose "responded about right"
