Probably people who don't realize some things are part of the internet

"I don't use the internet. I only use Netflix and twitter."

I have never seen such people in Europe...

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wasn't sure if they were exclusive to America or not.

They moved here in the first place to be allowed to practice their religion how they see fit. They were pretty much driven out of Europe, along with e.g. the Quakers and Mennonites

They scam people on the internet as well.

It's a bigger number than I'd have picked in a pub quiz, bet there are always people who have medical reasons not to be able to use the internet.

If you're in a coma or have a severe mental disability you probably won't be on Lemmy.

And the other 3.9%?

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And do you have the ability to awnser such Surveys then? And what's with the remaining ~4%

[–] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Any good poll accounts for people who won't pick up the phone. Otherwise you might as well not poll.

As for the 4%, that's why I said it's a bigger number than I'd have picked. There is probably a perfectly reasonable answer as to why it is 4%. I just gave you one example but it's easy to tink of a few other scenario's: poverty, lack of internet availability in rural areas, the exact wording of the polling questions, etc. It's not my poll.
