idk it’s my first time (kind of) trying to do dataviz, I thought the original post was super interesting but like other comments said, it was hard to read.
I think in a way it’s mostly because defederation is complex to show as links, since it is the break of said link, but hopefully this type of graph is better ?
you do lose the “group” of instances view, though (and also I did not bother with per instance MAU as raw number + percentage, or sofware used)
let me know what you think!
I’m colorblind. It does :/
Do you have any design suggestions for op? (Assuming they’re the originators of this chart)
Because as it is, this data is pretty hard to concisely portray. Whoever made this decided to use color, alone, which, even for me who is not colorblind, thinks could use some improvement. Design IS hard, the question is how.
In this particular instance, I don’t have many suggestions other than, maybe change the saturation?
To give an example, the rainbow pride flag has always looked muddy to me;
But I recently saw a colorblind friendly version that, to my eyes anyway, looks really good. I can much more easily distinguish the stripes in this one:
I don’t know the exact mechanics of how these are different. But maybe there’s a lesson here about colorblind friendly stats representation?
You’ve managed to nerd snipe me with the colourblind friendly Pride flag, the second one somehow looks really good!
