 Amazing find:) 
 Any idea who made this bot? Doesn't seem to be a nostr thing /  botsin.space 
 'What if we send the farmers to fight in Ukraine?'

- Keir Starmer, probably  
 The left feel inadequate and like the right are mobilising, but the right see absolutely no option or possibility of an option for right wing representation in parliamentary politics, especially with farage cucking out.

The left and the right both seem to hate Starmer. The media seem to be defending him.

So basically the left and the right are depressed. Everyone is depressed. Lol.

(I think nostr:nprofile1qqsgwdypzj4wdz2w3k7jshucve87s8xwy3t07f689mjvrsq4l7ysdjqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs2g4ysk

And Novara Media for the left angle.)

 First they ignore Bluesky
Then they laugh at Bluesky 
Then they fight Bluesky 
Then they join Bluesky 
Then they laugh even harder at Bluesky  
 They won't survive without an enemy which they had on twitter, they might get some action with new users (who will find being called a fascists shocking). Then the purity spiral continues as they block each other into oblivion lol. 
 Maybe the nostr bridge is actually perfect for them. That's why they insist nostr are a bunch of Nazis. They need us to hold off their inevitable cannibalism. 
 It's quite easy to check if a poll on nostr has been falsified. Just seen if there are more than 24 answers. 
 The work lanyardification of Nostr. Welcome to my TED talk. 
 lurking on primal codebase I see they are working on something potentially controversial. 
Premiu... 
 Hmm I don't think it's that controversial? 

This is similar to Highlighter or  the other nostr patreon-style clones, no? 
 Mother's maiden name in bio!

Come on everyone! 
 I propose Flags In Bio at the protocol level next. 

And then we will have 1 squillion new users. I promise!!! 
 I might see what ridiculous changes I can make to the nostr protocol or add. Just to spice things up a bit. It's done wonders for morale. 
 Participation in polls is mandatory. I want to see all 24 nostr users in the pronouns in bio referendum. 😡 
 🫂🫂😭 don't remind me 
 No one knows why. But we suspect it's the devs injecting conversation pieces into the timeline. lol 
 I'm not sure, it doesn't seem like it. Futile lol 
 No idea, probably up to clients. I really know nothing lol 
 So the point of it is to function as a sort of thing more liberal clients could point to and say 'hey we know what liberals like, we're not a nazi bar, ignore what bluesky says'? 
 They often call nostr a nazi bar, it's a staple phrase of theirs  
 I think this poll will not really have any 'Yes' voters cos the idea is to appeal to users who aren't here. This mythological liberal who is just about to join nostr, if only we tried a bit harder. (They're already on Bluesky, they hate nostr).

 That would've been a good option actually lol 
 Literally no one wants the pronoun discourse again lol. It's been over for years
 That's why it feels so odd as a decision. Who is it for. I don't think anyone cares. Not even the alleged target audience.

 This would be amazing tho. #devfights 
 There are no right wing on nostr, can you name literally one 'online right' person / prominent figure who's here? They're not here cos they don't think it's worth their time. Their audience aren't here. They think libertarians are a joke.

I should know, I've invited all of them to join nostr lol 
 I assumed this is more like the 4chan spergs of mostr 
 Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🤙🏻🫂💜

Flo... 
 Still no one has used the Horchata client name. But lots of Spanish and Spanishish names lol 
 Have you never drunk horchata? It's deliciouso 
 Tbf Bluesky probably think Novara Media are alt-right 
 Britain 2025: Bluesky usage is mandatory for all citizens.
Monthly 1-to-1s with your HR department assess Bluesky Blocklists you appear on. Punishment will include listening to Novara Media shows in re-education camps based in Croydon.

#brits 
 There's this tedious self-aggrandizing lore on Bluesky that 'hey frickin bullied the billionaire Jack Dorsey off the frickin platform, frickin cool or what'.

When really Jack saw that a community had a stranglehold over a platform, a notoriously insufferably community of posters reliving 2010 twitter over and over again. And he saw it would also be insufferable to most other people.

'We frickin bullied a billionaire folx' is such a 2010s twitter larp dialogue too lol.

Here I am defending a fickin literal billionaire, bootlicker that I am, how frickin uncool folx. 
 Very cool bot 👀

 Ha e you used pollerama.fun the options there are pretty good for customisability (PoW polls, WoT filtering). It makes the most sense, is most usable and fun. 

Which is not to say that zap polls shouldnt exist, it should just be another customisable option (on the rare occasion someone needed an 'important' poll.)

I'm not sure pollerama polls have zap option currently🤔 or plans to? nostr:nprofile1qqsvyxc6dndjglxtmyudevttzkj05wpdqrla0vfdtja669e2pn2dzuqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7umgnlw

Also the numbers speak for themselves. More clients have non-zap polls than have zap polls. It's what people like. Remember... the user? Lol;) 
 Also nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q3ttcfs 
Will you add normal polls? Thoughts on polls?

The nip is already there. 
 Most polls aren't 'important' enough to warrant the worry imo, and their unimportance means it's not likely to be scammed. 

But having fun and facilitating engagement on a social media platform isn't meaningless. It could potentially contribute to keeping people here. (Imagine @primal sidebar has Popular / Latest polls' for eg. cc nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpq6c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9qqh8vzc a massive improvement already on the current options and a tool for engagement / discussion. )

You could say the same thing about zap polls, you could just have zaps with an Yes emoji message and zaps with a No emoji message instead. Do away with polls altogether. 
 I've done plenty of polls on pollerama and never had a problem, or felt the need to filter them, I've never seen anyone complain about pollerama polls either actually. So it's not all people.

But I do appreciate your logic. 

I'd like to think both zap/normal polls can be accommodated and it is another tool for interesting post/discussion discovery, which it isn't, in its current mostly unused state

 
 #freepolls  
 If the impetus for adding pronouns was to make Nostr more appealing to leftists, a word of cautio... 
 That type of person who would appreciate pronouns in bio (retro 2010s IDpol twitter enthusiast) will never come here lol. They have Bluesky, they are happy with Bluesky. They wouldn't touch nostr with a barge poll.

The more sensible left are on Twitter, they don't really care about this and they also wouldn't bother with nostr ever anyway.

Not to mention you can literally have whatever you like in your bio already lol.

There is no audience for this lol.

Now, can we please have normal polls. Please.

Cis Polls, if you will. 
 Even AOC abandoned them lol.

That's how anachronistic it is.
 
 I think even the marxists never bought this, more of a lib thing

 I'm actually very grateful for the pronouns thing.
