I wanted to comment this on the why-google thread, but that was locked, so I'll post it here:
"What you should be doing is converting this light complaint into an hard feature request: Let Lemmy posts include polls. I don't doubt more would feel polls are a useful thing to have, and Lemmy is already very big on making things optional per instance and per community, so there's an answer to those who may dislike them.
Also, give those polls some control, like, allow only users who subbed for X time, who belong to the local instance, and stuff like that."
Appreciate the feedback. I'm not an Admin of this lemmy instance, but polls are currently not supported.
There is an enhancement request filed in order to add native polls in a future release: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/787
@[email protected] is just a mod, a user like you who also moderates a community. They have no control over the things you're talking about, which would require the Lemmy developers to implement.
It's a response to the OP of the locked thread, which I doubt was locked by said user. I want my comment to be public, specially since it pertains the whole community in that local polls would service everyone, so the placement of my response (as well as me sending it in a dm to the OP) is fitting.
And respectfully, that's also wrong. Every single user has the power to make a feature request. There is zero technical knowledge required to do it, and also, moderators are actually in a better position to do so, as, if they do one, they get to represent the community they manage.
Fair enough.
