I'd really like for there to be an easy way to create polls.
There are a bunch of websites that provide polling services out there. Can link off-site.
I'd bet that they're probably more-resistant to stuffing the polls, if that's a concern, since they aren't tied to a Threadiverse identity, which is "cheap" -- someone can control many identities and that's an intended Threadiverse feature.
Another issue is that the messaging system today on the Threadiverse isn't really private, so if it's based on that and you want private polling...shrugs
Defo some good points! It's just as soon as those polls are on a third-party site i feel like a lot less people are going to bother/engage with the poll - instead of a simple click in the lemmy-ui.
