nostr is a few years old now and social microblogging clients don't have polls. devs do something.

Amethyst does
you have to pay to vote, awful idea imo
the problem is that there are only two protocols let's make a third one or let's do the fourth one 🤙
worse is better
I think that's needed because it's incredibly easy for someone to make multiple accounts and fuck with the results
It's not an election, just a way to gauge people's opinions. the spec I'm using allows to specify authoritative relays which can filter spam, and doing client side filtering of results should help separate the signal from the noise.
Stop extorting money out of people to vote
Oh no my poll about who prefers tits or ass is ruined!! Lol
Saw this, while working on pollerama, to make it easier to use. I think if these "popular clients" won't do it, we should just make our clients better and make these dinosaurs irrelevant.
Gifs too ffs 🤦♂️
#Jumble beat you to the punch.💪🏻

but then the result depends on the client and we've all descended into the quantum realm.
I've been having a great time with jumble, might just make it my main client.
Somewhat related - is amethyst still being maintained?
Oh no! Anonymous people and bots on the Internet could pretend to be other anonymous people and bots on the Internet! 😩
I'm mostly on Jumble and our own stuff, now, with occasional side-offs on Nostrudel and Chachi.
I also sometimes spy on Primal, to find out how the other half lives.
Oh, and I use Pollerama. 😁
@Cody
Is it already live on

I think the answer might be yes

To answer I ask for help from home...
ahhh Yakihonne has
And there it is, sir.
You can see this poll on

polls that extort money out of people are so stupid.
Paying to vote sounds totalitarian to me 😂
LFG! Thanks to you and Cody for making this happen, yet another reason to have #Jumble as my daily driver.
The most stupidest polls to exist, you can find the real ones on pollerama.fun or chachi.chat and now even on jumble.social
why can't I choose both 🗿
Tbh I would even argue that the spec is also election ready if implemented correctly 🤷♂️
The results are the same, filtering depends on how YOU want to filter them.
Yet there are npubs who would die on this hill, they would knowingly make nostr worse just so they can make a few sats on their polls.
THIS POLL MUST BE MULTISELECT!
🤣
Yeah, it's the relays that determine the quality of the results, not the clients.
I would filter it by my follows and maybe their follows and would want to know who voted what. No need for sats.
Relays or clients, user-set client filters or hard-coded client filters, it all leads to a quantum soup one way or the other. Nostr just doesn't do consistency. And the whole point of a poll is that everyone is 100% sure everyone else is seeing the exact same numbers. Otherwise it's not a poll, it's an interpretation generator.
Could work for NIP-29 groups though.
and we need the male equivalent, curious what the ladies think about our body parts xd
I legit don't care what other people see.
I want to know what my frens think and have some fun.
Y'all are overthinking this.
💯
It must be accurate!
Subjectivity is ok in this case imo (OP's follows, my follows). And of course they work great in closed groups.
6 feet
6 inches
6 pack
Make it mutliselect. 😂
Hahahaha devilish 😈
Closed groups for the win. Im slowly accepting that NIP29 is the best thing in Nostr, despite all the speed bumps
The Tenor API is free to use, fast af and easy to integrate. If privacy is a concern requests could be proxied.
But it's centralized nooooooo 😅
Something cool that Pollerama could do, as a cross-relay service, is display the polls by demographic (relay community) and also in aggregrate (deduplicating the results by npub).
Then you can have higher-signal results for the "full" data set, than if someone just looked at the results in relay.nostr.band, or something, while everyone could still drill down by demographic. You could also display the relay.nostr.band results, of course, since it's a sort of mega-community.
Overthinking for the win. So many Nostr issues stem from underthinking and just smashing something out. Case in point: NIP-04. Couple days of whoo-wee followed by couple years of pain.
😂 haha
It's already de-duped by npub, the poll creator is supposed to specify the relays though so there is consistency, but yeah relay filtering doesn't hurt, I'll look into it.
The result should depend on where the author is targeting the :poll: Poll.
I.e. the author selects what Communities (with moderated relay + media server) he uses as the publication houses for his event.
This gives you a Global state you can work with, without having the author hand over control to one server.
Targeting to multiple #commuikeys fixes the quantum soup, while not trying your publications to one community forever.
I need people to poke holes on this approach.
The lack of a global default state to work with is a real one and keeps coming up for nearly every content type.
the fact that it's the most hated NIP still baffles me, one of the best things we have for sure.
I think it gets some hate because it upends the physics of Nostr. It's like Galileo coming in and going "No actually it's the other way around y'all.".
I also need a mobile app that fixes my typos before sending :joke:
For most content types, BOTH publishing in the unglobal feed or in 1 moderated community suck.
There's a middle way tho.
Polls have been a topic for years.
The relay group is the only way to compete with larger groups like those on Telegram.
:90percent:
How large do you think NIP-29 groups can get while maintaining a half-decent UX?
With a high-performance server, I think it could support a group with up to ten thousand members.
I mean @Silberengel just asked for it, above this post
Here's @HoloKat asking for it
And here's @verbiricha asking for it:

If you look under each post you'll find a bunch of other people asking for this as well.
you can post polls with

Nice, looks like it was merged upstream so Jumble has polls now!
I think it's on master but not deployed yet on the official app
It is, I did a poll earlier today
never mind, I just had to refresh a few times
Last update was in January
Yes, Vitor Pamplona stated a while ago that he's working on an update and that Amethyst hasn't been updated in a long time.
If you're checking the source code, make sure to look at all branches. Master branch is"stale" minus translations, because they are hard at work on outbox support.
