 I have no idea, but it’s still better than just tallying up comments. People worry too much about all this stuff when it comes to polls IMO. 
 certain polls don’t drastically change things some do 
 You can set the PoW really high and clients could easily filter results using WoT. You can let users choose how to filter results. 
 clients are already filtering the results ? 
 I don’t think anyone has implemented these types of polls except Pollerama. I’m not sure if it’s doing any result filtering. @ABH3PO made Pollerama.

 The only benefit to polling by comments over Pollerama style polls is that your note gets boosted in trending feeds from all the comments 
 good for discovery of the poll I guess 
 I still think these types of polls would be really popular if clients like Damus started supporting them 
 is Will & elsat aware of it ? 
 I dunno, but people keep asking for it 
 Oh well if people are asking for it then surely it’s on the roadmap 
 I just looked at the nips repo and the polls nip was removed 😂. There seems to be some drama about it. 

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/commit/6cd598d02cceec76f6c4df6e061c4135ca3e3fd3 
 Why?
 
 just another day in the nostr nips repo 😂
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1501 
 The guy wants to loop through the whole database to count polls. 
 Wen polls though? That’s all we care about. 😂 
 Seems the drama got solved (somewhat). I'm always saying that they should really considered something "NIPS:2025" releases or something like that. Some NIP are already obsolete and now basically dead-numbers. 
 Polls should not have been removed.  There wasnt consensus for that. 
 Decentralize git 
 Polls on a decentralised system is non-trivial, nigh impossible.. 
 It doesn’t need to be perfect. Pollerama is good enough from a user’s perspective.

 Pollerama is filtering with PoW and also lists based filtering if you login  
 What does lists based filtering mean? 
 Kind:30000 follow sets, if you login with an extension you can filter the results based on your contact list or any other follow set you've created  
 Oh I see it now. Awesome you already have a WoT results filter. 
 Hilarious that you can view results from just people you’ve muted 😂
