// v.01
Hi there,
for a while now I'm wondering about the ever lasting discussion and every once in a while upcoming request that friendica should have a pool option.
To begin with I do consider that it is not only reasonable but even mandatory to have more than one profile in a decentralized system. There for, having besides a friendica account a mastodon account, sounds quite logical. So as mastodon does have pool's, such a general setup of profiles solves the main problem/issue/request.
Than there is the fact that friendica, by having like an dislike in posts and answers., basically a poll option does exist, it only has to be discovered and integrated to the cultural use of this platform.
So, by having two opposing choices like yes/no -> like/dislike we can do pools with three expressions:
- yes
- no
- yes+no
If a pool is designed and published immediately with answers for every alternative option/question we would have a pool feature by design if the pool is published in the right manner.
If you agree to this consideration, please vote "like"
If you don't agree please vote "dislike"
If you are not sure that you got the idea please select "like" and "dislike"

Hi there @utopiarte,
I'm observing this #poll question on the #friendica @helpers #group from over here on a #mastodon instance and can't like, only fav, yet actually I'd like to be against this proposal as it is very dangerous!
I wouldn't put my name on the line in this internet for poll's by name vote, #democracy or even post an opinion.
That's way to dangerous in the actually #zeitGeist of #neoLiberalFascist's having the thumb on LLM's to hunt us down.

•Should be poll. If I understood your text correctly I dislike it. I think having support for real polls is much superior than abusing like / dislike for polls. Many polls cannot be answered with like / dislike.
Also on the long run ideally like + dislike will be replaced by allowing arbitrary emoji reactions. And like + dislike are optional and many instances opt to disable dislike. And while I am a big fan of allowing any emoji, those instances have good reasons to limit reactions as well.
utopiArte
•Sounds fascinating for me that you percive this as an "abuse" of like / dislike .
For me like/dislike is just +/-.
Actually on mastodon they press a fav and over here the software tells me that it's a like.
Never thought about that, or heard that option.
I guess it sounds plausible, would be like element works right now.
Personally I perceive the whole emoji movement as childish kitsch and prefer my gif quick comments here on f°.
Arbitrary emoji reactions could be added inbetween the existing +/-.

It could or should be considered in the contextual text design of those pools.
Also that would made none friendicans like second class citizens with lesser or no voting right's,

thx (seriously) for pointing out my intent to drown poll's in a pool, my spell checker isn't LLM yet and I just trained him to accept the every existence of friendicans as a human race!
I liked that you raised a voice in the first place and helped me to improve my take and gave you a fav for that.

•Thumbs up / down was never designed for polls so yes, abuse / misuse / unintended use of implementation is accurate.
Feature request for emoji reactions is https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/12805 It has been in the tracker for a long time.
The emoji ship has sailed, they are a de facto standard which will not go away, no matter your personal perception. They are in any messenger, signal, even modern xmpp clients support message reactions.

•Ultimately, to begin with, this is about communication, words, meaning and the meaning we create for them in a evolving (or devolving) process.
An evolutionary proces called culture.
As background for this statement of mine I'd like to pinPoint to this conversational snippet on YT on the topic.
Nobody denied that.
Thanks for pointing out, I thought I could change the world.
That's not the point about emoji's.
The problem is more likely that when ever you give mono sapiens a hammer, he/she/it thinks that every thing looks like a nail.
It's the when, where and how, like always in the use of tools.

Thumbs up / down was never designed for polls so yes, abuse / misuse / unintended use of implementation is accurate.In my way of meaning this is conservativ BS
What is true, and worth while too point out, is that 👎👍 is the global international sign language since the roman empire, so in the first place I'd suppose that we should skip the words in all languages for the thumbs, if we haven't done already, and only leave the thumbs sign.
That way we skip the fb BS of friends and likes imposed by a criminal psycopath on the world of the 21first century.
By doing that, instead of arguing that some original intent and design is a wall that has to be respected as a rule cisceled into stone, we could give our minds the chance to think outside the box and evolve the design of our tool friendica, actually be a quite cool KISS move, opening the doors of our software wide open to become even capable of having a democratic feature used to make laws in most evolved democracies of the planet.
So, this time my dear freind @Wilhelm I liked your comment because the link to github is much apreciated. I guess that you frequent that site a lot.
You'd really do me a favor.As I don't any more, can you place the folling link as a comment in that githib request:

•@utopiArte No, because it requires additional database tables to record local users’ votes in polls. So it wouldn’t be easier to make it as an addon.
What needs to be done:
- Update the current poll display to include form controls for local users to vote.
- Update the current poll display to reflect the current user’s choice(s).
- Store the local users’ choices, currently we only store vote aggregates transmitted to us by the remote systems.
- Wire the form to the storage through an asynchronous module.
- Add a form to attach a poll to a post, maybe as an additional tab in the JOT?
- Store the user-created polls along with their options. This may be already available since we’re storing remote polls.
- Wire the form to the post creation in the already humongous Item module.
- Add support for polls in the ActivityPub post transmission.
- Add a fallback display for Diaspora which we still support.

- Add a fallback display for Diaspora which we still support.
The challenges:
- Currently polls are cached with the rest of the post body for all local users. Allowing individual users to vote and displaying their choice(s) invalidate this caching mechanism, so the poll display needs a special treatment, either synchronously with the associated page load performance hit, or asynchronously with a progressive enhancement of the poll display.
- The vote module must take into account the poll policies (expiration, number of allowed choices) and transmit votes to the remote system where the poll originated. If the poll originated on Friendica, it must transmit the updated vote aggregates to the post’s recipients.
As you can see, it isn’t trivial and it touches several internal features of Friendica.

•Even tho the emoji conversation is offtopic:
Not out of the need for some kind of agreement or to meet in the middle, @Wilhelm but integrating the fact that emojis do exist and ar a nice tool and at the same time trying to prevent them spamming our content the following came up, looking at the emoji bar of the github link you posted.
Introducing the selection button, inbetween thumbs up and thumbs down allowing only one selection of emoji would create a new kind of combined basic expressions.
two pics, the first is all option off, the second one emoji thumbs up, all so could be one emoji thumbs down:

•I'd want a poll created on Friendica to be presented as a poll on other Fediverse platforms, especially since the downvote isn't available on all platforms (or even instances). This is not really possible with your suggestion. A free-form post is difficult to transform into a proper poll, which I assume needs be done in the background by the Friendica-to-ActivityPub connector.
Transforming a Friendica poll into a Mastodon poll (and vice versa) seems doable, if someone steps up to take on the task.

Actually such a link is federated thru out the activityPub federation but not present on D*, so friendicans could consider to add those originating links in a comment if that seems reasonable or important, probably something to have in mind depending on the content.

•Yes, that's about it. I think polls have semantics that go beyond free-form-post-with-likes-and-dislikes. Therefore, I think a poll should be sent as a poll - and votes as votes - to the platforms that support that. (Didn't remember that D* has polls.)
Platforms that don't have polls should probably just be sent an ordinary post and be left out of the voting.
