[li]👍 -> If you are thankful and gracious for this latest gift to the community by the codding team of #quickComment
[li]👎 -> If you find it disgraceful that the discussion of adding this tool to friendica didn't pass the standard requirement of creating new feature and pull request to train githubs AI so we can relieve VC from spending's for employees as soon as possible.
[li]👍 + 👎 -> If you think that friendica coders had better things to do than to waste their time on overrated polling functions in times of rising autocracies.
Who needs voting anyway if it's used to ban participation and hold representatives accountable?
[li]♻️ -> Reshare if you think this new feature is awesome and everybody in the community should know about it.

Did you know I built Polls into Stories when I originally released the feature 4 years ago, but at the last minute I decided against enabling Poll support because it wasn't polished enough?

I was waiting for the right time.

Now that time has come. 😎

As you might have noticed earlier today, I accidentally reset the poll from yesterday 😳

So, here's a warning for poll creators:

If you edit a Mastodon poll, changing the options at all will reset the poll to zero, even if people have already voted on it. It will do this automatically without warning, so only edit options if you're okay with resetting the poll.
