I made a poll back in 2023-08-15 - unfortunately it wasn't a good poll

Which ones of these are "nena" to you

Responses: 98 💧 105 🔎 105 🌜 39 🔒 102 🍃 101 🖼️ 97 ☀️ 89 💎 66 ☁️ 81 🧩 49 🐌 37 🥕 32 🍒 30 🪶 57 🍄 3 reactions for "ante" meaning they'd rather clarify in text, 100 pressed a button for "I participated in this poll"

It was a bad poll partially because I had to then clarify:

This is asking about which of the shapes you would describe as "nena", for example, when each individual shape would suddenly appear in a sidescroller where the rest of the landscape is flat. Or when you see a silhouette on the horizon, where the horizon is otherwise flat It is not asking which of these shapes read as "nena" in the writing system "sitelen pona".

70 said "No, I understood that", vs 7 "My answer was originally about sitelen pona" and 2 "I misunderstood the poll in some other way"

And of course polls over in that server are not deemed representative. They might be a good indicator for projects like sona.pona.la where more sources can be added later on and everything can be rewritten fast, but for Linku these polls wouldn't be the driving factor, at least not in the same way
