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 poll 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 poll's, such a general setup of profiles solves the main problem/issue/request.

Than there is the fact that friendica, by having like and 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 poll is designed and published immediately with answers for every alternative option/question we would have a poll feature by design if the poll 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"

If you you don't care about pool's just be brilliantly absent from the ballot box.
Ballot count since v.01 of this post:
Two hundred eighty seven friendicans abstained from the vote because they don't have a Badekapp for the pool option, no votes in favor of poll's and one vote against poll's by the user @Wilhelm

This proposal implies that the profiles vote by name.

While this is in some democratic events common, for example in parliaments there do exist the option of a secrete or public vote, what is your opinion about creating such public votes?


  • If you consider a public vote an interesting choice please vote with a "like"
  • If you consider this a dangerous proposal, exposing peoples opinion to the public please vote by selecting "dislike"
  • If you are undecided for now and would like to observe an eventual discussion in this sub topic vote, please select "like" and "dislike"

Hi there @utopiarte,
I'm observing this question on the @helpers from over here on a 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, or even post an opinion.

That's way to dangerous in the actually of 's having the thumb on LLM's to hunt us down.
