@Friendica Support

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"

[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?
