Oddbean new post about login | logout We’ve had lightning polls on nostr since March 2023 but sadly clients didn’t take it up
I don't think they count cos not everyone can use them and they don't use them even when they can.
Everyone could use them but client devs haven’t implemented so they can’t. If they’re a feature in only one client then few will use them.
There are lots of amethyst users, people mostly don't want to zap a poll it seems. But let's ask... In a poll... Lol
It’s possible people don’t want to zap polls but other clients don’t see them from Amethyst Users so a massive chunk of the network doesn’t know when they’re up - makes it hard to judge. I paid the bounty for this dev, it was intended to give nostr another usecase for zapping and make it costly to try to sway polls but I’d rather have SOME polls in every client even if not with zaps than none.
